Yardage difference

Both myself and my golf partner have the S62, and both watches have been updated to the most current software.  However, we find that when we are standing next to each other on the course, our watches may differ by up to 10 yards.  How is this possible?

  • Directly on your S62, tap the middle button on side of watch from the time screen > Select Settings > Golf Settings > Scroll down to the Golf Distance section and confirm "Golf Distance" is set to "Yards" and not "Meters".

    If after checking golf settings you find that your watch is indeed set to "Yards" then check the Settings > Golf Settings > Golf Distance on the other watch to confirm the other S62 is not set to "Meters". 

    This info can also be referenced from the Resolving Inaccurate Golf Distances on a Garmin Watch Garmin Support article if needed.
