Keep Track. And Keep Score
With more sensors to improve detection accuracy, AutoShot game tracking automatically detects¹ along the fairway and records distances for post-game analysis on Garmin Connect.
Know Your Course
Get precise distances to each location on the course, as well as PlaysLike Distance, which adjusts yardages to account for uphill and downhill shots so you can select the best club for the situation. And with Touch Targeting, you can touch any point on the map for precise measurement to that exact spot — including fairway, sand traps, water hazards and more.
Reach the Pin
Green View gives you each green’s true shape from wherever you are on the course, and it allows you to manually drag-and-drop the pin into the correct location for the day for greater accuracy. PinPointer even tells you the direction to the pin when you have a blind shot.
Know Your Swing
Pair your Approach S60 with the Garmin TruSwing golf swing analyzer to get swing training, including swing speed and club path angles. By understanding what your swing is doing and how it impacts ball flight, you can improve the consistency of each swing.

Pros:
* the golf functions are flawless. I spent a round on the course messing around with it. Yardage readings were extremely accurate and it was perfectly visible in direct sunlight. It was also cool (or embarrassing) to see the yardage of each shot automatically, without having to touch any buttons.
* the watch is versatile. It's a lot lighter than I expected, for a device with so many options. It feels the same as my FitBit Blaze, as far as size and weight. There are also over a hundred watch faces to choose from, so you can easily change the appearance on a whim. Install the Garmin Face-It app, and you can create your own custom face (included a pic of one I created).
* having used FitBit products for the last ~4yrs, I honestly thing the Garmin is a more-accurate step tracker. I noticed my FitBit would register 5-8 'phantom' steps during my 45min commute in the car. I don't know if that's due to vibration in the steering wheel, 'lively hand motions' to other motorists, or whatever. I notice that the Garmin doesn't give me any 'bonus' steps. When wearing them at the same time and actually counting steps, the Garmin was more accurate by a couple of steps.
* fantastic battery life. I've worn it eight straight days, including a round of golf, and still haven't needed to recharge. Based on my usage, it uses less than 10% a day (I've just used it as a watch today, and it's only used 3% in the 14hrs I've been awake). Utilizing the GPS and golf features during a round of golf will burn ~25-35% - I was messing with it constantly during my round, and it used ~30%.
Cons:
* it ain't cheap
* even though it's pricey, it doesn't include a heart monitor - the only thing I miss from my FitBit. You can add an accessory for that function...for an additional price.
* it's app-happy. I had to install three apps to cover the features I wanted to utilize; Garmin Connect (most of the general settings/features), Garmin Golf (granular golf tracking/stats) and Garmin Face-It (custom watch faces).
In the end, I have no regrets over the purchase. I love it.

plays like distances, touch targeting and hole overview and flag positioning, club distance tracking and automatic swing sensing, scorecard function, compass for blind shots, relatively accurate measurements, compiles performance stats. If you really play 36h regularly then the S62 might be worth the $500, but for the rest of us mere mortals that play 9h or 18h this S60 is a great half-cost option with nearly all the same functionality.
Con’s. Sometimes it takes more time for the watch to leave one hole and go to the next. I speculate this happens when the next tee box is too close to the last green. It is something you can overcome manually. Sometimes in league play I will tee off maybe on the 14th tee as my start hole. Going from the 14th to the 1st tee can confuse the S60. Again it can be resolved with manual intervention.
Top reviews from other countries
Have been using it for 12 days now and am impressed, however battery life has been only half of what has been indicated in the sales brochure for me, have put a feedback to the seller for replacement under warranty, hope it comes through.
Globalement, c’est une très bonne montre pour le golf avec comme points positifs :
Autonomie (possibilité de l’éteindre quand on ne s’en sert pas)
Précision des distances.
Facilité de mesure des distances intermédiaires (bunkers, zones de pénalité...)
Logiciels Garmin (connect et golf) assez bien faits.
Pas de points négatifs (pour l’instant)
