The Garmin Golf Watch is an inexpensive golf watch that every golf players should have. It has basic functionality which gives standard distances to the back, middle and the front of the green. It has also the convenience factor which makes it suitable for the casual golf player. However, without stats that help the analysis of the golf game as well as a touch screen distance functionality or visual course map, serious golf players will find it hard to lower their scores without any distance to hazards indication.

A new model of Garmin Golf Watch is the Garmin Approach S1, a GPS-enabled watch which is flexible and lightweight. It provides golf players with the distance information in its almost 5,000 preloaded European golf courses. It also allows the user to measure shot distance, track the distance in the course and wake you up in the morning with an alarm to get you ready for tee time.

It is known to be the first full-featured sports watch and GPS in one. It is a tough, rugged and waterproof design which fitted for golf course playability and can also function as a casual watch. It includes a rechargeable lithium ion battery and automatically sets the time and time zone. In watch mode, the battery last for 3 weeks and 8 hours in GPS mode.

Another Garmin Golf Watch is the Garmin Approach S3 Golf Watch. It is an upgrade of the S1 which adds a touch screen to the mix. It also provides 27,000 golf courses across the globe. Golf players can also benefit from the wealth of location-based guideline such as green overviews, precise yardages of the next green, and layup distances. This watch also features a waterproof design with 8 hours of continuous battery life.

The Garmin Approach S1 GPS: it will elevate your game.

Golf is a wonderful, satisfying sport that can be enjoyed well into your golden years. What other sport can make a boast like that? You can savor nature, and have some friendly (and sometimes not so friendly) competition at the same time. What could be the downside? However, if you've ever played golf seriously for any length of time, you know it is a complex game that only appears simple. Improving can be a real challenge, but isn't that why you took up golf in the first place?

Precisely how to enact such an improvement is the real question, however. Well, you don't need to question anymore, as Garmin has released a new tool that could make a big difference in your game.

The Garmin Approach S1 GPS is a unique watch unlike any other, specifically crafted to enhance your golfing experience. While it operates as an ordinary watch if needed, hiding below that mundane function is a highly sensitive GPS receiver which is its secret weapon. The Garmin Approach S1 GPS comes preloaded with 16,500 US and Canadian golf courses, giving you distance information to the front, back and middle of the greens. In addition, it will measure the range for your shot by figuring the precise distance for shots played from anywhere on the course. The Approach also has an odometer feature to track how far you've walk over the course of your game.

You may think that with such high-tech functionality that the Garmin Approach S1 GPS watch might be too bulky for comfort during a long day on the links. Far from it. The Approach is thin in design, light in weight and fully waterproof, ready to handle any and all golfing conditions.

If you want to improve your game, and your enjoyment of it, consider giving the Garmin Approach a shot.
