The Approach S12 is Garmin's entry-level golf GPS watch. It preloads more than 42,000 courses worldwide and shows front, middle and back green distances plus hazard and dogleg yardages, with a scorecard on the watch that syncs to the Garmin Golf app for weekly leaderboards. It is a simple, light, button-driven watch with a monochrome screen and no touchscreen, no heart rate and no everyday smartwatch features. Against pricier Garmin models and rangefinders it trades shot tracking, color maps and sensors for a long 15-hour GPS battery and a set-and-forget round. Reviewers treat it as a solid first golf watch that does distances and scoring well and little else.

Owners describe the S12 as a dependable, no-fuss golf watch: quick GPS lock, accurate yardages and a battery that lasts a full round or two. Many call it great value for a first golf watch. The common complaints are the plain monochrome display and the lack of smartwatch features.
The Garmin Approach S12 is a GPS golf watch that turns on when you tee off. It gives key yardages to the green, hazards and doglegs on 42,000 preloaded courses worldwide.
