Voice Caddie T9 Golf GPS Watch vs Garmin Approach S50

The Garmin Approach S50 is the better all-round watch and the safer pick for most golfers. It pairs 43,000+ preloaded courses with an AMOLED screen, Gorilla Glass 3, 5 ATM water resistance and full health tracking, and owners rate it highly. The Voice Caddie T9 is a golf-first tool: shot and putt tracking, green undulation heat maps, putt view and practice tempo mode, in a light 31 g metal case. Choose the T9 for on-course data depth; choose the S50 for build, screen and everyday wear.

Questions and answers

Which is better for serious on-course data?
The Voice Caddie T9. It adds automatic shot and putt tracking, green undulation heat maps, putt view and slope calculation that the S50 does not match.
Which is better as an everyday watch?
The Garmin Approach S50. It has an AMOLED screen, Gorilla Glass 3, 5 ATM water resistance and heart rate, sleep and Body Battery tracking.
Does the Garmin S50 track shots automatically?
No. You enter your score manually. The T9 tracks shots and putts for you.
Which lasts longer on the course?
The T9 is rated for 27 holes in GPS mode. Garmin does not state a golf GPS battery figure for the S50, so compare its daily-use rating instead.
Is the S50 worth stepping up to?
Yes if you want one watch for golf and health tracking with a better screen and tougher glass. Stay with the T9 if green maps and automatic scoring matter more.
Which fits smaller wrists?
The S50, at 43 mm and 11.4 mm thick. The T9 is about 46 mm, though it is lighter at 31.3 g.
