    5 Stars
    Very good design and size at 43mm.
    Very nice watch. Just the right size at 43mm. Not distracting to wear while playing golf. Light weight and slim. Watch is made for golf so not much other sports features. Played 27 holes but for reason i dont know, last 9 holes was not recorded. I was previously using S20 and did not encounter unrecorded holes. Started with 100% battery, 65% after 18 holes. So probably this will be good for 2 rounds only. Ordered the S40 rather than the S60 which might be too big on the wrist.
