I have had a S-42 for several months, buying it bec ause it could cover both my golf acti vities and track steps and such. However, getting this watch to sync with my phone has been one endless headache. I have reloaded the Garmin Connect app several times, to no avail. Only twice i nthis time have I succeeded in syncing -- and those successes seemed to be by accident. The steps provided in the direction have not worked. In addition, the watch will shift to golf mode without my efforts, and spend all day t rying to find a golf course -- thus running down the battery. I would not recommended buying this product.

Gps Is Sluggish
I am surprised at the time it takes for the sattlelite to find the course. I thought with this being a Garmin product it would be very efficient but I have free apps that connect to the course much faster. Any advice on this issue to improve the situation is appreciated.

Great When It Works
I love the watch when it works. Today I went to use it and it had no courses and would not sync to my phone. What I researched is I need to hook it up to a computer to update it, but I don’t have a computer.

Disappointing
I have had lots of trouble. It loses its connection to the Garmin ap frequently, even during a golf game. I called Garmin, and they were very helpful. Think I'll have to call again.
