Use with the Garmin Golf™ app for live scoring, automatic scorecard uploads and the ability to review all your stats in real time on your compatible smartphone during play and after your round. With the additional smartwatch features, you can wear it all day, and it can track your activities².

Approach S40 GPS

Wear It Out

Even when you’re not playing golf, this watch is a stylish, lightweight performer. Its 1.2” color touchscreen display with attractive metal bezel is as comfortable out on the town as it is on the course. And when a subtle change of style is desired, it features quick release bands for an easy wardrobe change.

Keep Track — and Keep Score

With more sensors to improve detection accuracy, AutoShot game tracking automatically measures detected shot distances and records them for post-game analysis on the Garmin Golf app. To receive chip and putt stats, pair with the included Approach CT10 club tracking sensors.
