Approach G12

I have had the G12 for one month now. Played at least 5 times with 2 friends that have Bushnellrange finders. The G12 is as accurate as their's. The reason I bought the Garmin was because the 3 Bushnells I had before did not last more than one season. I was unable to charge them The price was the same, but size was smaller than the Bushnell's. I carry it in my pocket so that works fine for me

Great Gizmo.

Love my Garmin Approach 12. It gives me the distance to the front, middle and back of the green. It doesn’t help my shots much, but it’s great to know the distance that I am supposed to hit the ball.

Easy To Use Real Happy

It took about 10 minutes to go through the set up process and it was up and running. Have only used it 2 times but it is accurate, easy to read. It took 3 minutes for it to down load the course and start the round. Great so far for the value.

Simple

Easy to use, no frills, doesn’t get in the way of my brain

Have Not Been Able To Use In Winter

See title for review waiting for spring to utilize garmin

Great Features

I am very pleased with the additional features. I did not realize with the app that more was available. The graphics are superb with colors that are vibrant.

Front Middle Back

I like the fact that it gives you front middle and back yardages

Very Easy To Use

I had a Garmin s10 watch and enjoyed it so upgraded and love it so easy to use.

Accuracy Concerns

I have 2 Approach G12s (mine and my wife's) and an Approach G30. All 3 record different distances from the same location. My wife's G12 is about 5 yards longer than the Approach G30 which is about 5 yards longer than my G12. For us casual golfers this is not a big deal. For somebody with more dialed in yardages on their clubs it will make a difference.

Nice Little Gps To Keep Things Simple

Great GPS device, accurate and keeps things simple. I don't like using range finders and a GPS gives me all the data I need. Highly recommend if you don't like a range finder and don't want to use your phone.

Must Have

Easy to use and accurate. Battery is worth several full rounds of golf

Quality

Only played 4 rounds so far but this is quality built item, easy to use and accurate with great features.

Accurate Device

I received this as a gift in July and have enjoyed using it ever since. It’s light weight and easy to access while playing. Ive found the distances to be very acccurste and the distances provide to hazards of each hole are very helpful.

Keep It Simple!

All I really need are distances to front, center and back of green and the obstacles along the way. This baby gives me these with accuracy in an easy to read interface without the need of reading glasses!. No frills. No bells and whistles. And the best part, because there are no frills (ie. Amoled displays, touch screen features, etc.), the battery lasts forever. I literally just keep it in my bag. I'm on my 3rd round without charging. We'll see how far I can go

Lovebit

I received the Garmin Approach as a birthday gift and have thoroughly enjoyed using it. I’ve found it to be very accurate and really like the hole by hole maps. I purchased the matching lanyard so this hangs from My belt loop and is easily assessible
