While a lot of reviewers maybe have a financial interest in giving positive reviews, I’ve always found Joe Lagowski to be fair and impartial, and he’s only had good things to say. And while I wouldn’t claim that the Omni is better than the R50, I feel like the data it’s producing is as good as the R50. Most Importantly, I feel Square are proactive in pushing updates and bug fixes, unlike Garmin thus far. I really hope that Garmin changes their approach to the device, as it has so much potential. I just couldn’t wait any longer for that potential to be realised.https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/golf/f/approach-r50/437440/plans-for-updates-implementing-customer-requests/2036782Sun, 07 Jun 2026 11:42:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:a759cff1-526e-4915-b70c-5959810687c8Atarikid[quote userid="122080" url="~/outdoor-recreation/golf/f/approach-r50/437440/plans-for-updates-implementing-customer-requests/2036643"]along with ball impact location[/quote] We recently had the opportunity to test the new Omni Square for two days. Based on our experience, it is definitely not better than the R50. We encountered several misreads, including instances where the device detected right spin when the shot clearly had left spin. Spinrate measurements were also inconsistent and not particularly accurate, similar to what we've seen with the R50. Additionally, the shown impact location was incorrect more often than it was correct. It's possible that future software updates could improve these issues for the Omni. However, launch monitors positioned in front of the player and relying on forward-facing cameras will never be able to determine impact location with complete accuracy. For precise clubface impact data, an overhead-mounted system is required. That's how it works and very possible the reason why Garmin is not adding this for the R50. So buying the Omni for impact location you will be disappointed for sure.https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/golf/f/approach-s44/437603/stuck-on-old-versionSat, 06 Jun 2026 15:59:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:b942f286-9889-4634-a1a5-d1c0c9aa1347TerrapinMMy S44 watch (and Garmin Express) both report software version 6.59.

As other have described I am able to get "actual" spin indoors using RCT balls but the data is all over the place and seems high. 90% of the time club data is blank, and no matter how good I strike it, my carry is down 20+ yards compared to version 4.30 which was flawless.https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/golf/f/approach-r50/437440/plans-for-updates-implementing-customer-requests/2036643Sat, 06 Jun 2026 14:47:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:025566bb-b750-4856-8150-0580019946b6bmcg80I sold my R50 recently due to a combination of factors; • Frustration due to the lack of engagement from the company with users, combined with slow update frequency that often hasn’t included even the most basic of user requests/suggestions. • I personally found that the impact video replays were pretty useless/time consuming to review, and there’s no way to collate that information. I feel like an impact location graphic would be far more useful, and have no faith that Garmin can/would implement that. • Cost - Given the price of some of the new competitors, and the lack of development of the r50 so far, it was really hard for me to say it represented value for money. I’ve since ordered the Square Omni. I’m still waiting for delivery so haven’t tested it, but early reviews look positive. It’ll give me everything that I liked about the r50, along with ball impact location, and crucially I feel optimistic that they’ll continue to push the potential of the unit - something I couldn’t say about Garmin. And I still had £1400 left over! I’d had dozens of Garmin products over the years for running, swimming, cycling and golf, and this is the first one I’ve regretted buying. Hopefully they can come good with the r50, but they need to up their game, especially with the increased competition.https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/golf/f/approach-r10/437575/can-the-r10-be-used-for-a-map-my-bag-mode-or-for-club-statsSat, 06 Jun 2026 00:49:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:9cd311b3-5e3c-46b7-893d-bc428c9d72f69723864It would be great if we could use the practice mode data to understand average club distances even if there is a flag that has a disclaimer.

The hardware is what it is at this point, and I assume there are inherent limitations that can’t easily be overcome. From a business perspective, the R50 is likely no longer a significant revenue driver. Its launch excitement has long passed and as you mentioned, several lower-cost alternatives have entered the market offering a very similar feature set. That said, the R50’s built-in touchscreen is still arguably the best available in this segment. Looking at the customer support for the R50, the assistance provided by the help desk is consistently below par. In many cases, the responses suggest that the staff do not fully understand the issue being reported or the feature request being proposed.It just gives a bad impression of their 'engineers'. Assuming they still have anyone working on the R50 at all. From Garmin’s standpoint, it probably makes more sense to focus development efforts on a new device with upgraded hardware and expanded capabilities (for example using cameras and radar would be a killer but will be almost for sure a device you need to place on the ceiling).Something that can once again differentiate itself from the competition and generate renewed market interest. It's sad but that's how business work, I guess.https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/golf/f/approach-r50/437495/future-direction/2036366Fri, 05 Jun 2026 09:28:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:c7db959f-fb2f-4600-a620-5ae7f4bbf78eshaungabSounds like your in software the same as myself. I agree, there is a lot of value to attract through software, and we seem to be tinkering around the edges, instead of making valuable steps forward The echo chamber is clear, other then bug fixes, I can not think of a single feature that has come out as a result of the feature requests that I have seen on here. At this rate, I think garmin are loosing ground to their competitors, the hardware is good, the software is developing too slowly. maybe this is the problem of garmin having so many products, vs a company that has a single product line where they are invested in the market and all their energy and investment goes towards ithttps://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/golf/f/approach-r50/437495/future-direction/2036365Fri, 05 Jun 2026 09:11:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:6fcb9e44-cdb3-4b12-b59d-ac1b466d5ff33952987I would bet that there isn't a dedicated product or engineering team for the R50 and it's split across something like the whole Approach range which results in us seeing very little improvement and time dedicated to bug fixes like the water hazard drop issue that's been around for months. The R50 has huge potential which can be realised with software development only, hardware updates aren't needed to squeeze another 30-50% more value out of this unit. This forum used to be a great place to raise issues and feature requests but Garmin now need everyone to use the official feature request route which makes this place a little bit of an echo chamber. There's improvements that can be made to the club and ball data for game improvement and there's a whole load of features that could be added to the HTH software to make practice more fun and engaging. There must be a backlog somewhere within Garmin that covers both of those. Would love to see a roadmap for the product so we know what to expect and what not expect and roughly when. I've started checking this forum and the unit every few days in the hope that there's another update coming, alas I am regularly disappointed.https://forums.garmin.com/outdoor-recreation/golf/f/approach-r50/437495/future-direction/2036355Fri, 05 Jun 2026 07:52:00 GMTa9571b57-dd57-479e-8763-8f8a603e40aa:b65f7fca-3b83-4d5c-9429-9b10ee84c5ffHoboGTSDidn't consider that, although the subscription money in essence is for what it can do currently, not for what it can do in the future, as potentially they may add loads and make it significantly better and offer different packages at different costs.

As there is water in the SIM, and we are not pro, we should have that choice. NO ONE would choose to place a ball on a decline into a water hazard in real life. And the rules state that there are options to avoid this. If you simply mean it shouldn't give options, simply place the ball away from any decline in any water hazard according to the rules, that is how I started this request.
