Garmin S20 golf

i have recently purchased a Garmin approach s20 golf but it has loads of issues.

1. Garmin connect mobile does not show any stats and has not done so for a while (not a watch fault but takes away from having the watch)

2. when you have the S20 connected with your phone via Bluetooth it will delete the round. You must NOT have it connected with your phone via Bluetooth but that takes away from the notification feature on the watch (is known by Garmin they said don't connect with phone until they sort it)

3. i have uploaded my clubs via Gear in connect to my watch. When i play a shot on the course the auto shot asks me which club i used which i input. however once i save the round and download the info via Garmin express onto connect and view my round and the AutoShot round analyser on the web site it show different clubs than what i inputed so i have to change it all again if i can remember which club i used.

The watch itself is good however loads of bugs with it.

it looks like Garmin just threw it out to market without fully testing everything. i was going to purchase the Truswing but not now as disappointed.

anyone else having the same issues

Hi
I am having the same problems it seems that Garmin have released the Approach S20 without having checked everything is working. Also if you play off a different tee box it doesn't reconise the hole.
I have emailed them and am waiting for the response.

@icrun1m, regarding the 3 issues you listed:

1. Are you referring to putts/FIR/GIR, or your shots being displayed on a map?

2/3: These have been fixed in 2.40.

Please let us know if you have further issues/questions.

@petefos, we are currently working towards improving the ways in which we get the watch to recognize which hole you are currently playing. Please stay tuned for future software updates.

I have exactly the same problems, one reason I purchased this watch was for the shot location on the course, I have tried and tried to find this on the Connect App, after days of frustration I called Garmin to be informed that this morning that "this feature does not yet work on the app" - "it could be May before it's working" What is the point of releasing a product if the features do not work!

Where did you see the AutoShot round analyser?

Measure shot function

I bought my s20 ~2wks ago and played 5 rounds already. I am experiencing all the same issues and the measure shot options aren't always available after hitting my shot. Thus resulting in blank screens when I upload to connect. The
auot shot real time update on my phone doesn't work as well or doesn't even show as an option.

Lastly I was on a great round this morning and I went to use the "lay up" option and the device rebooted itself and I lost my round. I don't know if this a hardware or software issue but I am at the point of returning the device since it only works at 45% of its "so-called" features.

S20 / Garmin connect

Hello,


I also recently bought a Garmin S20. I live in Morocco and I am french.

I am also having problems with my S20 and Garmin connect...

The main problem is that for some golf courses, even I play the same course, garmin connect shows them like 2 different courses. So I can not use statistics relating to several games on the same course ... Have you experienced same problem ?

Thanks for your comments.

S20 cant upload the post golf details to Garmin Connect

I need help with my Approach S20. All the while it was on since Jan'17 until 10th Feb 2017. The last course uploaded was on 10th Feb 2017. After that, I have played a few times, but when I completed the rounds and save the rounds, the details are not in Garmin Connect. My SW version is 3.30. I have updated the software. Please help on what else I can do? :(

Thanks.

The same here. Only the steps are synchronized. The data of the golf rounds are lost.
