Device Will Not Turn On
When users try to switch on the device, nothing happens.
Dead Battery
If the charger is plugged in but the device still doesn't response, then the battery is not working. Consider changing the battery.
Faulty Charger
If there is no USB inserted sound when charger is plugged in to the computer, the charger is not working. Consider purchasing a replacement charger.
Sometimes Can't Charge the Device
After using few months, the charging port is not sensitive.
Rusty or Oily of Contact Surface
The contact surface might be rusty or oily because of being used. Dripping few drops of alcoholic cleaner on tissue and cleaning the charger port might help.
Inaccurate Result
Device can't detect the accurate distance after hitting the golf.
Faulty Odometer
If the device can't measure the actual distance, the odometer is faulty. Need to replace a new odometer.
No Satellite Signal
The device can't connect to satellite.
Weak Satellite Spots
It might be due to too many shelters or user is staying in in-door where the device cannot detect the signal. Users can try to go out-door or somewhere spacious to try the device again.
Faulty GPS Receiver
If the user is locating on a golf course but the device is still unable to connect to satellite, then the GPS receiver is faulty. The user needs to replace a new GPS receiver.
No Particular Golf Course Is Found
The device can't search the nearby golf course.
Outdated Version of the Operational System or Maps
If the user can't find the nearby golf course, it might be due to the outdated version of system. Go to the Garmin website to download the newest version of OS or maps.

S2 will only take half a charge bought a new clip but the same
Ian Hall - Responder
I have the same issue. I plugged the S2 in for hours, but the Garmin message would flash on the device for a second and go away. I then plugged it into a computer and got the watch to respond. I updated the software, as suggested. But now it says it’s charging, but only charges 1/2 way.
Very disappointed.

S2 can't be recognized by my computer although I use the USB adaptor. Disappointment only after 18 months.
alain fortier - Responder
I have the exact same problem. The watch works fine, but I cannot get it to sync to my computer. So I can’t update the golf courses or upload my scores. Very disappointed.

I paid a handsome price for this GPS/watch and today it has half numbers on top, the date in the middle and half numbers on the bottom. Very very disappointed in the product not even 2 yrs old that i purchased from Golfsmith. No once to call. they make it hard to correspond with a problem /trouble shooting..

Can't pick up satellite to get yardage on my golf watch

This is my second garmin watch
disappointing

Jumping from hole to hole having to search for nxt 1 just updated it on lap top
Tom - Responder
Mines doing the fine thing. I have to manually input the next hole and even after doing automatically for a hole or two it gets lost. Also accuracy of distance is way off at times even though the hole # matches up. I’ve only used it for two seasons including this years and it’s already trash. I wouldn’t recommend Garmin S2 to anyone. I’ve kept it updated as required and even tried to reboot/reinstall the software to no avail. The Charging cradle failed (A pin broke off) late last year and I had to order an aftermarket unit to charge the device.
No more Garmin products for me.
Gus Meza -
S2 is junk. charging cradle pin broke late into the first season of use. Now it fails to track automatically the holes I’m playing. Manually inputting the hole to resync it works temporarily before the unit loses track and intermittently provides erroneous yardages. I’d never purchase another Garmin product. I will mention that I update the software when any are available.

Garmin s2 GPS watch searches for Satellite then says no course near
jack huber - Responder
i’m having the same issue . No Courses Near. I tried to sync with computer to update software and maps and the USB cable is not recognized. Frustrated to say the least.
Jason Jarchow -
S2 was working well last year at my golf course in Willsboro NY. This year, it will not find the course. Went and downloaded the new version…. still can’t find our golf course but the S2 is able to find other courses in the area. What is up with that? Why did my course disappear from the map listing? Answer would be greatly appreciated…..
Louise Bonnycastle - Responder
Contacted Garmin Approach S2 customer support last night via CHAT. Tech said that the problem is with the map listing. When they upgraded their map listing somehow some of the golf course locations were dropped. He said this may be fixed on the next update but did not know when or if the next update would correct the problem. He offered to send me a “refurbished” unit which he “hoped” would still have the course location in its old version, but he could not guarantee the Willsboro NY course would be listed. In other words, I could send him my Garmin S2 (which I purchased new) and he would send me a refurbished Garmin S2 which may not solve the problem. Fantastic…. right???

I have an S2 Approach and it worked for about the 6 months that I used it but since then the selection button on the watch only brings up one choice (shut down?), Why and What to do?
It is still a nice watch but I want another one please, so I can get back to playing a better Golf Game, it should still be under warranty what say you?
Bob Barker - Responder
Lets face it the Garmin S2 is rubbish and at best will last about a year. The customer service is appalling so I bought one made by Tom Tom. It was the same price as the S2 but is a much better piece of equipment.
neilpain - Responder
No problems for 20 months and then flashing Garmin icon when I tried to charge it. I was able to reset it (hold “down” button and press “light” button. clear data? appears. select YES. had to try it 4 or 5 times and then back on charger) but, now it has problems other have mentioned. Game Golf, please make a watch to go with your shot tracker! I LOVE my Game golf with Smart Caddie but with an iPhone 8 plus I might as well be carrying an iPad in my pocket. Does Game Golf have an Apple watch app? hmmm got me thinking… Anyway no more Garmin

Has anyone found a solution to not finding satellites. I cannot use this because it has no info and nothing seems to help. If someone figured this out, please let me know. It is my father’s watch and he is older and on fixed income. I really would like to get this working for him.
ragozineraggs26 - Responder

Cannot charge s2 out of England. Please help
Terry Hayes - Responder
Hello. I have a s2. About 18 months old. I put it on charge and everything works on the watch but once the charger is removed the watch goes blank. Its showing nothing and left on for 8 hours no charge. Tried cleaning tab nothing. Any ideas or is it just had it.
Floyd carter - Responder
When I log in a course, the watch accepts that info, but then the odometer does not move yardage at each hole-it stays frozen throughout the round.
Marty Kaminsky - Responder
my s2 says no corses near and app wont see it when i plug it in to the comp. 13 months old not happy. any ideas anyone.
shaun ayres - Responder
same issue - S2 not recognized by the program so I cannot do updates, meaning it does not recognize any courses!! now useless!
don schilling - Responder
how do i replace gps reciever
Bill Ramsay - Responder
Why does the S2 loose satellites after a number of holes. Tries to reconnect but takes a number of holes before pick up is achieved. Only a recent problem for about 6 weeks.
Watch is 2 years old and has been fine playing 3 times a week.
Alan Weldon - Responder
Part way through a round, the “lost satellite reception” message appears on the screen. Have to shut the watch down and restart, which is difficult, because it is hard to get rid of the message on the screen so you can shut it down. Started doing this about three months ago, and this same message keeps coming up while the watch is connected to the charger. No luck with customer support solving the problem, so they are sending me a “refurbished” one for $124.00. Hope it lasts longer than the previous one.

S2 is not start round even I press OK button.
sikim2586 - Responder
gives correct hole and distance tee to green but doesn't alter distance as you near the green.

Brian Poloczek - Responder
My S2 approach loses satellite contact after about 14 holes.
Frank Roche - Responder
My Garmion S2 Approach use to work great but it will no longer connect to computer to run updates and golf courses. Try many resolve issues to no avail.
I'm thinking my S2 is just more electronic junk now.
Won't be buying Garmin for next golf watch...
