The new Garmin Approach S42 GPS golf smartwatch is packed with more than 42,000 preloaded courses so golfers can walk onto any tee box with confidence.

Across the board, the new Approach line-up offers exemplary battery life and supports connectivity with Garmin’s very own club tracking sensor and the Garmin golf app.

Golfers can link with the Garmin Golf app to participate in weekly leaderboards, tournaments, review live scoring, strokes gained analysis, automatic scorecard uploads and much more. They can also pair with the optional Approach CT10 club sensors for automatic club tracking to see how far players hit each club.

Precise yardages can be calculated to the front, middle, and back of the green, hazards, doglegs, layups and more, thanks to a built-in high sensitivity GPS that zeroes in on a player’s location.

The Green View feature meanwhile allows golfers to see each green’s true shape and to move the pin for better yardage accuracy, regardless of where a golfer is on the course.

The lightweight Approach S42 offers an easy-to-read 1.2-inch color touchscreen display with a sleek design that easily transitions from a daily timepiece to a comprehensive golf watch. Once on the course, golfers can rely on a loaded feature set that includes the AutoShot round analyzer to track and auto-record shot distances.

Golfers can wear the smartwatch in and out of the golf course and peruse smart notifications and activity-tracking features that include steps, sleep, calories, vibration alerts, move bar and built-in sport profiles.

Whether golfers are looking for style points or sportiness, switching bands is easy with the Approach S42’s quick release bands. The Approach S42’s versatile battery life lasts up to 15 hours in GPS mode, and up to 10 days in smartwatch mode.
