It has been said that “golf is a good walk spoiled.” Those who prefer to log their steps with clubs in tow might appreciate the news that Garmin has a smartwatch for them too. For the past two decades, Garmin has become the brand runners trust most to measure their speed, pace, heart rate and distance with great accuracy. With the Garmin Approach S42 smartwatch, the portable GPS technology company has firmly set its sights on the golfing market.
This watch is not just a GPS tracker — it’s a full-fledged smartwatch that monitors steps, sleep and calories and gives vibration alerts that people from all walks of life have come to expect. However, the Approach S42 is designed to be worn on and off the course. Get ready to step up to your next shot without having to guess the pin placement or distance to the green — that’s because it also comes preloaded with 42,000 courses worth of data. And there’s a handy set of features that not only keeps score for you but also tracks and records individual shot distances.
The lightweight and sleek watch offers an easy-to-read 1.2-inch color touchscreen display with a stylish design that looks great wherever you go. And with a battery that can last for 15 hours in GPS mode and up to 10 days in smart-watch mode, it will last long after the 19th hole and beyond.
