GPS Watch Reviews here
I've been using Golf GPS rangefinders now for about a year and a new product on the market that's caught out my attention has been the Garmin S1 Golf Watch. It's unlike almost golf GPS products as it's in fact worn on the wrist as a watch. Despite what you might assume, it's not big and clunky, and in fact looks pretty stylish, but then if you be aware of Garmin you will recognize they otherwise make GPS Sports Watches and are the market leader there so it ought come as no surprise.
What I like about it almost is the fact that it recognises any golf courses that are nearby as soon as it is turned on, or the when the GPS is switched to active. The Approach S1 uses a high-sensitity GPS receiver that is inside the watch. That's how the magic proceeds.
It's just like wearing a light digital watch, and the material helpful to golfers is that it shows distance to the front, back, and middle of the green. This has let me meliorate my handicap and judge shot distances so much better. Oh, and it is legal to use this under the rules of golf so don't feel guilty for taking the advantage in this way!
Pre-Loaded Golf Courses
There are thousands of golf courses already loaded onto the Garmin Approach S1. It doesn't literally display the golf course layouts like the sister Garmin products Approach G3 and G5 do.
notwithstanding that's not sincerely important as the distances displayed are completely precise so you can measure your shots easily.
Odometer - How Far Did I Walk
If you're a data freak like me, you'll sometimes want to understand how far you've walked over the course of a game. You can do that because Approach S1 comes with a built-in odometer in it which will notify you how far you walked throughout your game of golf.
critically, as I tend to participate in all weather and am quite clumsy by nature, the Garmin Approach watch is not only waterproof, but it's sometimes pretty sturdy. You can give it a excellent whack and it still works.
No Subscription Fees or Hidden Charges
One of the most favourable features for me is that unlike other Golf GPS products I've owned, with Garmin you don't want to subscribe. Get The Latest
