I have the active 2 golf buddy edition. I changed from the s60 and i prefer the Samsung. I use it as my day to day watch as i have a Samsung phone.
As for battery life i can get around 3 days normal use. A round of golf takes around 20-30%.
The golf buddy edition comes preloaded with the golf buddy app which gives a hole view as we as front , middle,back distances.
I also bought golf pad GPS which is around £17 for the year and is good tracking stats . It gives strikes gained stas on your rounds. Before you hit a shot you tell the watch which club you hit and it learns and gives recommendations on which club to hit. Also if you link it to your phone it gives plays like distances and adjust depending on slope,weather etc. This mode can be switched off for completion use. And will just give basic distance I formation.

I prefer the Samsung as it is not as big as the garmin and it feels better on my wrist.
