I am about to buy one of these watches. I was wondering if the golf edition does all of the other features of the regular 16 gig watch?

I bought the golf edition and used it for running as well. As the other reviewers mentioned, Battery life was an issue for me.

Yes it does. All other features plus golf. Do note battery life is short if you choose the light up the display frequently. Good luck.

yes as far as i know. i use the golf edition to monitor my heart rate with the optional chest strap. so whether you walk run use a stairstep machine then you should have no problem

As long as you can get the toq app from the play store you should have no problem. Unlike the other two comments i love my toq. I have a few smart watches including the gear 2 and the sony sw2. I had a pebble and sold it. I prefer the toq. IT just out performs all the other that are available today. Thats just my opinion.

Sorry, I don't know. I bought this watch years ago and it did not have that feature then.

The watch is preloaded with almost every course in the US. I don't think you should have to upload courses. I only had one course I had to update because they redid the layout of the back nine. I went to Igolf and I got an error message but played with the connection and got it to work.

Played a few times with the bluetooth connected to my iPhone. Haven't had any issues with it disconnecting during the round. Actually noticed last time I played, that it was a bit annoying. ALL notifications that appear on your iPhone (i.e. emails, texts, application notifications, etc.) appear on the watch and makes it tedious to get back to the distance screen or clear all notifications during a hole, but that may just be me. Hopefully that helps. Definitely love the watch, I wear it beyond just playing, just as an everyday watch. Considering its cost, might as well get as much use out of it.

Yes it does, but if I was considering buying this watch now I probably wouldn't. It does everything it claims to do and for certain situations is no doubt the best choice but the new smart watches would be a better choice for me. Want to buy a like new Timex at half off?

So I'm having lunch with a retired Delta SF and he's wearing this watch... I thought it looked cool so I bought one. I've had it a year and worn it 3 times... It's too bulky and I don't like it. Sorry this doesn't answer your question.

Yes, this watch does feature Automatic Course & Hole Recognition. Thank you,-Dylan

I'm sorry that I can't answer that question directly save to say that it was much to small for me. I am admittedly a big guy butwhen I buy a watch I almost always have to take out a link or two. This item, in my mind, might be best worn by a woman. Having read the proceeding two answers, I can only conclude that extra links are included now since I purchased this item and sent it back.

Hello Kim, I have had the Garmin S1 for several weeks now and have enjoyed using it. It has helped my game and gives me all that I need - accurate yardage to the front, center and back of the green. I am about a 17 handicap golfer and I do not need the additional features of the S2 and S3 which provide more information to include distance to hazards on the S3. The S2 is maybe $70 to $80 more than the S1 and the S3 maybe another $100. I need glasses to read the small print and appreciate the S1 with the large display of numbers. I could not effectively use the other models without putting on my reading glasses which I do not want to do while playing golf. I hope that helps - Have fun - Jack

The only thing I can suggest is make sure you download the app that is needed to get full function of the watch. The watch I purchased was a gift.

No clue. There's supposed to room for 25,000 courses in the watch and I haven't run into a Florida course that wasn't already in the software.

I only have the regular version; however, when I compared the "pro" specs to mine the "pro" has a larger display because the button was moved to the underside of watch from the face of the watch. It appears to have a slimmer design too. The pro can calculate a gas change of up to 100% whereas I can set up to 50%. Digital downloading has been improved with an optional USB interface to both PC (Dive Organizer) ad MAC (Divers Diary) software. Otherwise, the 2008 puck has same features as "pro" and I hope to continue using mine w/Oceanic backup computer. Love my Mares Puck!

Hi Ahmed. A. I bought this watch about 6 months ago. It's not that great. The Internet doesn't not work. Just message and calling. No picture message or internet. So the feature that the watch come with doesn't work. I had service with t mobile and at&t and they both told me they don't support the system on the watch that's why Internet and picture message don't work. It's look nice but it's other that work better bro

Yes it a watch as well. When I initially received the S2, I used it as a watch. However the problem was there was not enough battery life when I went to play. The GPS function quickly drains the battery, I would say its good for a round and a half.

me too. I am tempted to just get an iphone and use View Ti Golf. I do know that Golf Caddie's are now OS X compatible, but I hate the subscription fees.

well, I cannot remember it perfectly for I returned it as I found it does not working at all. But I would like to say it is as big as an usual watch which is no more than 5 cm in diameter. Hope it helps.
