"The Garmin Approach S1 Golf GPS Watch will put you on course for success."

Approach S1 is unlike any other golf GPS. Combining a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with a lightweight, flexible sport watch, S1 can measure distance to the front, back and middle of the greens at almost 5,000 preloaded European courses. The Approach S1 is the first full-featured sports watch and golf GPS in one.

S1’s cool exterior belies its tough, waterproof design. Fitted for course playability, S1 also functions as an everyday watch. There’s an alarm, rechargeable lithium-ion battery and S1 sets its time and time zone automatically and a sunlight-viewable screen for at-a-glance visibility. It also has a highly accurate odometer to calculate distance walked.

S1 comes preloaded with almost 5,000 European courses – and we're adding more all the time. There's no need for subscriptions, downloads or additional set up – S1 is ready to tee off straight from the box. It also tells the time.
