Fully integrated and used in my playing routine - worth the extra money
It finds courses quickly (providing you've updated the software), and shows all the information that you'd need. The big advantage for me of the S5/6 over others is the graphic of the hole, which enables me to quickly touch a hazard and see the distance there rather than just to the green. That's very useful on courses that you don't know and need to find out how far to clear the dyke etc. That feature has also been very useful for winter greens, tapping on where they are rather than having to guess in relation to the figures for the summer greens.The swing tempo feature hasn't captured my swing every time, but does most times. It's proved helpful on the range.The email/text notification feature of the S5/6 is good in theory, but it is bloody irritating in practice to keep having notifications come up when you're trying to focus on the round. It would be better if you could just specify texts and not emails, but I haven't managed to work out if that's possible (I don't think it is).I disagree with those who have complained about the screen not being bright enough. It's certainly not as bright as in the publicity pictures, but is still clear enough to read in any light.The biggest criticism I'd have is that it's not always obvious when it's charging (although in some screens there's a little pixel change on the battery indicator). It also appeared that it wasn't charging when it was switched off, but I've not retested this.Overall, it's provided all that I wanted from a GPS watch, I find that I have used most features so it's been worth the extra over other watches, and it's easy enough to wear/use that it's fitted very easily into my playing routine.

Poor design
I upgraded to the S6 and I'm disappointed.On the plus side the S6 has a lot more courses BUT it is a poor design.In play it constantly moves on to other holes as I must be nudging the buttons or the screen, and the touch screen is poor.Poor interface, and cant remember how to get half the options up when in play.I prefer to use my old golf watch or one of the free iphone apps

Excellent device
Previously had a S1, this is over twice the price, but does give hole layout and distances to hazards, so no need for a course guide. Used it in UK and Portugal without issue, finds satellites ok, loads course quickly. Can be annoying when it won't switch to the menu you want, but patience is the key. Overall happy with the packaged, the strap on my S1 was the weakest feature and the S6 is far more robust.

Good buy.
Use this watch every time I play golf. It's invaluable and really does last 2 rounds of golf! Accurate and fast to charge. Good buy.
