Swing tempo statistics during golf rounds

Hi! Just bought the S62 recently and was my first ever Garmin watch. 

I noticed in the "last shot" feature, the watch is tracking my swing tempo during the round. However, I feel this data is useless unless I can review them after the round is finished e.g. average swing tempo of driver is 2.0, 8i is 2.7 etc so I can know what I can work on during the next range session (and hopefully can track my improvement in the future rounds).

Does the watch upload swing tempo data and if yes, how can I see them? If not, is there any plan to do this in the future? Thanks.

    Nope it doesen't but it has been asked about before and then the garmin officials denied that it even measured swing tempo during a round until people pointed out to them that it actually does that when you check last shot feature. It was requested to have it saved together with everything else about the round and shots but I don't think they even added it to the list of requests.

    Honestly feels like the moderators of this forum haven't used the watch at all since there is loads of time that they answer questions wrongfully and has to be pointed out by the community. Also Garmin in general doesen't care about their customers at all, loads of good requests about functions that are missing compared to competitors have gone by without any update about it. They even refuse to add functions their 300 dollar cheaper smart watches have like editing smart replies. Just look at the last time they even did an update for the watch, over half a year ago...

    Exactly, proving my point. "It is not a metric that is being saved to later pass along to the Garmin Connect Mobile APP. It is a tool on the watch to help you personally during your swing."

    Basically it sounds like Chris thinks that it only works when you use the Swing Timer app on the watch but it actually takes Swing Timer recordings for every swing you do during an actually round as you can see in the "Last Shot" menu, its just that they are too lazy to make it so that that data is transfered together with the length of the shot to the Golf App.

    Thanks for the replies guys. It is indeed disappointing as reviewing my swing tempo every after we hit a shot could affect the pace of play. It's something that I would like to bring to the range and practice separately instead.

    Cheers!
