Every model in the Approach range gives you accurate distances to the front, middle and back of the green on more than 43,000 preloaded courses, then syncs your round to the Garmin Golf app. The harder question is which one to buy, because prices in our <a style=\"color: #398100;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegolfshoponline.co.uk\/garmin-golf?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=bestgarminwatches&amp;utm_campaign=garmin-golf\">Garmin golf range<\/a> run from just over \u00a3100 to more than \u00a3500.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px;\">The difference comes down to screen, smart features and how much you care about fitness tracking off the course.

Features such as PlaysLike Distance, club advice and wind data are not allowed during a competition round. The S44 has a Tournament Mode, and other models let you switch the features off. Always check your club&#8217;s Local Rules before teeing off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"font-family: 'Libre Baskerville',Georgia,serif; color: #398100; font-size: 18px; margin: 26px 0 0;\">Do I need a Garmin Golf membership?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #fff; border-left: 4px solid #398100; border-radius: 6px; padding: 18px 20px; margin: 12px 0 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"><strong>No. All five watches work fully for distances, hazards and scoring without one.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">A paid Garmin Golf watch membership unlocks extras such as green contours, handicap tools and leaderboards in the app. It is worth it if you want green slope data or play in Garmin&#8217;s online tournaments, but many golfers never subscribe. You can always try it later, since the watch doesn&#8217;t need it to give accurate yardages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"font-family: 'Libre Baskerville',Georgia,serif; color: #398100; font-size: 18px; margin: 26px 0 0;\">How long does the battery last on Garmin golf watches?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #fff; border-left: 4px solid #398100; border-radius: 6px; padding: 18px 20px; margin: 12px 0 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"><strong>Between roughly 15 and 30 hours of GPS use, depending on the model.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">Garmin quotes up to 30 hours in GPS mode for the S12 and up to 15 hours for the S44 and S50, with up to 10 days as a smartwatch for the latter two. That covers at least two rounds for most golfers. Charging once a week is typical if you also wear the watch day to day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"font-family: 'Libre Baskerville',Georgia,serif; color: #398100; font-size: 18px; margin: 26px 0 0;\">Which Garmin golf watch is easiest to use?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #fff; border-left: 4px solid #398100; border-radius: 6px; padding: 18px 20px; margin: 12px 0 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"><strong>The Approach S12, because it is built around simple button controls.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">There are no touchscreen menus to learn. It finds the course automatically and shows the three numbers most golfers need: front, middle and back of the green. That makes it ideal for beginners, older golfers and anyone who just wants yardage. It is also the cheapest Garmin we stock, at \u00a3109.99.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"font-family: 'Libre Baskerville',Georgia,serif; color: #398100; font-size: 18px; margin: 26px 0 0;\">Is the S70 worth the extra over the S50?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #fff; border-left: 4px solid #398100; border-radius: 6px; padding: 18px 20px; margin: 12px 0 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"><strong>It is if you want the virtual caddie and a premium finish.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">Both share PlaysLike Distance and strong health tracking. The S70 adds the virtual caddie, a dispersion chart, multi-frequency GPS, a ceramic bezel, and a bigger screen on the 47mm version. If course management is your weak spot, the S70 earns its price. If you mainly want yardages and fitness data, the S50 is better value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4 style=\"font-family: 'Libre Baskerville',Georgia,serif; color: #398100; font-size: 18px; margin: 26px 0 0;\">Can Garmin golf watches track every shot automatically?<\/h4>\n<div style=\"background: #fff; border-left: 4px solid #398100; border-radius: 6px; padding: 18px 20px; margin: 12px 0 0; box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.04);\">\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 10px;\"><strong>They can when paired with Garmin&#8217;s CT10 club trackers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">The S44 has AutoShot, which detects many full shots from your swing.

The virtual caddie, big AMOLED screen and premium build make it the complete package, and the 42mm version gives the same brains in a neater case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px;\">For most club golfers, though, the S44 is the smart buy. It brings a modern touchscreen and automatic shot detection for well under \u00a3250. Choose the S50 if fitness tracking matters as much as golf, and the S12 if you simply want reliable distances at the lowest price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0 0 16px;\">Whichever you choose, all five Garmin golf watches come with free UK delivery and our 60-day returns policy.
