Garmin S20 Golf Watch

[cooke119]

Probably should have checked here first but I purchased the S20 Golf watch. Anyone else using one? Your thoughts on the different features. I'll mainly use it for front center and back but some of the other capabilities appear interesting. The reviews all talk about a longer battery life.

Anyway, my current S1 is giving me fits, not auto advancing to the next hole so I figured it is time for a new one.

I have a s20. About a yr and a half now. .I'm enjoy it. No Complaints. After a 4 hr round of golf I usually have 70% of battery left.never used another watch so I can't compare the battery

30% for a round of golf is good battery life, thanks for the input. The instructions say I have to charge the watch using a USB port on my computer. That means I have to have the computer on to charge the watch, weird. My S1 has a USB connection but it also came with an adapter to plug it into a wall outlet. Do you charge your watch from a computer?

Yes. I just turn it on. Plug it in and a few hrs later take it off the computer.  And turn the watch off till I go play

Messed up response

I talked to Garmin via chat, they said I can use an adapter to plug it into a wall outlet, he uses his IPhone adapter. I have an adapter from my Garmin Approach S1 which he says I can use. But I can also plug it into my computer, different options. Before use you an adapter I would check with Garmin he told me the volts and amps the adapter should put out, (I forgot what he said). Garmin Support is very easy to use, the chat feature, they were very quick to respond and had the answer right away. I'd recommend them.
