Garmin’s Approach S40 Goes From Golf To Athleisure


A Smarter Golf Watch

G


armin’s recently introduced
Approach S40, is a versatile GPS
smartwatch specifically designed
for golfers to use on the course or as a
sophisticated timepiece. The lightweight
watch features a 1.2-inch colour
touchscreen display that is sunlight-
readable for everyday use and a metal
bezel bolsters its looks. Additionally,
the smartwatch is fitted with adjustable,
quick release bands, available in
different colours, to easily tailor the
watch to a golfer’s personal style.
A great feature is the AutoShot Game
Tracking to measure and auto-record
a golfer’s detected shot distance for a
more focused gaming experience, and
with its highly responsive GPS receiver,
this stylish smartwatch conveniently

locks in on a golfer’s location to display
precise yardages to the front, middle
and back of the green, hazards, doglegs
and more. Golfers will also have access
to over 41,000 preloaded courses from
around the world.
Garmin recognises the athleisure
lifestyle in the new Approach S40,
combining its superb high-quality
functionality on the golf course as
well as off the course, designing the
Approach S40 to not only be capable
as a golf GPS and smartwatch but also
to look great as a timepiece in its own
right. Garmin, already known for their
very capable GPS golf watch for the
course, has now included top-notch
smartwatch capabilities that track
everyday activities.
