Approach S44, Silver/Black Silicone

I purchased this recently, and have used it for one round. I like the golf features and the battery life. I had previously been using the Vivoactiv 3. My thought was the Approach S44 would replace my older watch, but I learned I have made a mistake. The Approach S44 does not have a heart rate sensor, so it will not be useful for other fitness activities, such as running or sleep monitoring. I did not research properly before making my purchase. I should have chosen the Approach S50 instead.

I bought this watch to replace my old Approach S41 and the S44 is excellent for golf as well as other uses. The only thing I question is the method of charging. The charging connection is the same as my old watch, which will no longer charge using the old charger cord. This method is far to unstable and the connecting mechanism gets worn to the point of not being able to hold the connection. I would recommend using a different charging system. Possibly similar to the method used by Fit Bit watches. I would have otherwise given my new Approach S44 a 5 star rating.
