It is commonplace for golfers to have some sort of GPS or shot-tracking system. There are a lot of options: apps, rangefinders,GPS clips and, of course, watches. 

All have their own potential benefits and drawbacks but the Garmin Approach S70 aims to narrow that by being a premium GPS golf smartwatch which you can use, not only on the course, but in your daily life as well. 

The Garmin Approach S70 has a variety of features including a bright 1.4-inch amoled touch display, pre-installed with 43,000 golf courses worldwide, optimized “plays-like” distance, an improved virtual caddie including green contour data as well as a variety of health and fitness features. 

Available in two sizes and three colors, there is an option that should suit any golfer. Claiming to have battery life that lasts up to 14 days in smartwatch mode and up to 15 hours in GPS mode, it is waterproof and has a 5 ATM Water Resistance rating. 

On the surface, there is a lot to like about the Garmin Approach S70 as it will seemingly do it all both on and off the course. This is where you come in.
