4.5 stars out of 5 (Based on 2 reviews)

The Garmin Approach S1 combines a high-sensitivity GPS device with a lightweight, waterproof sports watch.

Available in black or white, the S1 provides distance information to the front, middle and back of almost 7,100 preloaded courses. You can track how far you walk on the course, measure individual shot distances and even use the alarm to get up for your early tee time.

The sunlight viewable screen features large numbers for easy visibility whilst also offering the ability to use the S1 as an odometer to measure how far you walk on and off the course, or simply measure an individual shot. Unlike many devices on the market, the S1 comes preloaded with courses so there is no need for any subscriptions, downloads or additional set-up. The Garmin S1 is ready for the course right out of the box.

S1 so easy to use, no need to rummage, pockets or bag, quick wrist turn, job done.

Finds and loads in minutes. Screen can mist up but loosen strap and problem solved. Yardages update quickly and have already dropped 1.5 shots since returning from injury.

Only gives basic yardages but ease of use and clarity of this info more than compensates for lack of picture screen device.

One drawback, one green on my course has moved 90 yards further but S1 still recognises yardage to original green, so if playing different course, beware.

Oh and get used to some " ribbing " about having to get home early to the missus, coz you look like you are constantly time checking for dinner! But we know different.
