Is the S70 worth it over a cheaper golf GPS watch?

If you want full-color maps, Virtual Caddie and on-watch shot tracking without a phone, yes. Casual players who only need front, middle and back yardages can spend far less.

Does it work without a phone?

Yes. Courses are preloaded and yardages, maps and shot tracking run on the watch. A phone is only needed for syncing rounds and smart notifications.

How long does the battery last?

Garmin rates it up to 16 days in smartwatch mode and roughly a dozen hours in golf mode with GPS and the screen active. Heavy map use shortens that.

What is the difference between the 42 mm and 47 mm versions?

The 42 mm has a 1.2-inch screen and suits smaller wrists; the 47 mm has a larger 1.4-inch display and a longer battery. Features are otherwise the same.

Do I need a Garmin Golf membership?

No for core play. Green Contour data and some advanced stats require the membership, while yardages, maps and AutoShot work without it.

Can I wear it as an everyday watch?

Yes. It tracks heart rate, sleep and steps, and handles 5 ATM water resistance, so it works for daily wear and swimming.

About the Garmin Approach S70 GPS Golf Watch

The Approach S70 is Garmin's flagship golf GPS watch, with a bright AMOLED touchscreen, full-color course maps and precise front, middle and back yardages. It runs everything on the watch itself, so you get Virtual Caddie club suggestions, PlaysLike distance and AutoShot tracking without reaching for your phone. It also works as a daily fitness tracker with heart rate, sleep and step tracking, which sets it apart from golf-only rivals. Reviewers praise the accurate GPS, sunlight-readable screen and long battery life; the main complaints are the premium positioning and occasional Bluetooth dropouts.
