Why approach X40 shows different distance than venu 2s?

7220300 over 1 year ago

Hi,

I bought a new garmin Venu 2S, and I am using it from time to time to play golf. Usually I use my old approach X40. Recently I found out the 2 watches shows different course distance... and the difference in some cases is around 2KM... which is not a short distance.. :((

I took pictures using both watches at the same time, amd the final results... my golf playing was s... but at least I made the point of both watches not showing the same... ;))

Any explanation? I have installed all the updates to both watches... and still the same...

Thanks!

Hello, we might need to check the units setting on your Venu 2s. Press and hold the menu button in (bottom right) and then select Gear icon > System > Units and make sure the device is set to yards.

Why should I set it to yards? I’m living in Spain and we are using metric system - meters or in this case kilometers. This is what I have in Both watches.

My Venu 2s is also taking really long to acquire signal. To the point where it’s getting annoying. Easily half a minute. My Fenix 7s will get a GPS lock 2-3 seconds after leaving the house. Maybe the price ome gle we have to pay for miniaturization?
