    I would love to test this out! I running a marathon at the end of June, I'd like to see how the fitness features on this compare to my apple watch ultra.   

    I know there are some differences between my watch (Fenix 7) and the S70, but I compared my watch to a friend's AWU. My watch has at least 30 fitness features that his watch does not have. He recently did a half marathon and his watch died at mile 12. I thought it was funny, but he didn't seem to see the humor. 🤷‍♂️

    Oh man if only it could track beer consumption too and we could analyze that data point! Something to think about Garmin…

    There are multiple beer apps available. One of them is a counter to help you keep track of what you have drank. There is also a "beers earned" app. After doing an activity, it tells you how many you have earned. 😀

    This sounds like another wonderful opportunity. I have been using my Apple Watch with the GolfShot app for a few years now. Seems to be within 3-5 yds of laser scope generally. Unfortunately, the battery life is less then desirable. Can barely make it through a slow round. I also wear and Oura ring for sleep tracking. Super cool to have it all in one place with the battery life to boot. Pairing that with the approach sensors, sounds like could be great fun for a data nerd like myself.

    We often like to double down with a 36 hole day, and would be great to see how this Garmin performs. If as advertised, great to have the battery life to make it through a 36 hole day, let alone possibly a whole golf trip weekend. Interesting features on this watch. The green heat map really interests me. 

    MyGolfSpy, you folks seem to always provide the best opportunities for the community to weigh in on these great products.

    You would have no worries playing 36 holes in a day. Garmin advertises 20 hours of GPS usage per charge. My watch (Fenix 7) uses less than 25% of it's battery life per 18 holes of golf.

    Oh man, this is right up my alley. I currently use a Fitbit Inspire 3 to keep track of all my daily exercise, resting heart rate, calories burned, among several other things. I also use the Arccos system to keep track of club distances. These three screen shot are of this week alone. To be able to compare the Fitbit to the Garmin watch (which I have been watching and drooling over for a while now) as far as accuracy, consistency and other metrics would be awesome. Plus compare yardage on course to my laser range finder.

    I made the switch from Fitbit to Garmin a few years ago. I was blown away by the stats! Garmin is great for those of us that love numbers. Google/Fitbit put lots of data behind a paywall and that did not sit well with me. Garmin's coaching and training features are all included. My Fitbit would also fail to sync quite often. I've never had any connection issues between my phone and Garmin, though. 

    I threw my hat in the ring for this one because I do not currently have the CT10 sensors, and I would love to see what golf-specific features the S70 has that my watch does not. I'm also very intrigued by the idea of how health and wellness can affect your golf performance.

    Whoever gets chosen for the test, I'm sure you will enjoy it!

    Wow, so I'm definitely a high handicap! I'm really hoping the weather improves here in the Midwest. This is the year that I improve my golf game. Would and could these irons help?
