Garmin Approach S1 GPS wristwatch a New Approach

Many products claim to put a plethora of information at your fingertips, but none get as close to the fingertips as the new Garmin Approach S1 GPS wristwatch – the first fully-featured combined sports watch and golf GPS, which comes preloaded with details of nearly 5,000 golf courses.

Combining a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with a lightweight, flexible sports watch, the S1 gives distance information to the front, back and middle of greens for around 5,000 European courses. 

Constantly updating based on a golfer’s actual real-time location, the Approach S1 can also measure individual shot distances and functions as a high-quality, everyday watch. 

It also features an easy-to-set alarm and automatic time and time zone detection, making it the perfect companion for travelling golfers.

With almost 5,000 European courses pre-loaded there’s no subscription or download required – simply select ‘start round’ to be ready to tee off.

Rugged and waterproof, it weighs only 1.8oz, has an ultra-thin backlit display, and a rechargeable lithium ion battery that lasts up to three weeks in watch mode or eight hours in GPS mode.

The in-built odometer advises the distance travelled on or off-course and a USB interface offers instant connectivity.

Garmin – distributed in the UK exclusively by Somerset-based Masters Golf – has spent more than 20 years developing technologies and innovations to enhance users’ lives, becoming a household name in the automotive, aviation, marine, wireless, outdoor and fitness industries. 

The new Garmin Approach S1 GPS wristwatch has a recommended retail price of £179.99.
