Our take on the Approach S70 (42 MM)

The Approach S70 42mm is Garmin's smaller premium golf watch, built around a 1.2-inch AMOLED screen that shows full-color CourseView maps of more than 43,000 courses. It adds a virtual caddie that recommends a club from your shot dispersion and elevation, a barometer-based PlaysLike Distance, and green contour data with a Garmin Golf membership. It also tracks heart rate, sleep, strength, yoga and running, so it works as an everyday smartwatch. Against the larger S70 and the S62, it trades screen size and battery for a slimmer case and ceramic bezel; golfers with smaller wrists get the same on-course tools in a lighter package.

Best forGolfers who want full-color hole maps on the wristPlayers with smaller wrists who found the larger S70 bulkyGolfers who also want daily heart rate and sleep trackingAnyone who wants club suggestions from their own shot data

About the Approach S70 (42 MM)

The Approach S70 (42 mm) is a smaller-sized golf smartwatch with a 1.2-inch AMOLED display and a ceramic bezel. The design is slim and lightweight. It shows full-color CourseView maps for more than 43,000 courses, and you can pan and zoom to see a target distance.

On the course, the virtual caddie suggests a club based on your shot dispersion data, historical swing data, elevation, wind speed, wind direction and more. Plays Like Distance accounts for uphill and downhill shots, trajectory, wind, temperature and air pressure, using a built-in barometer. Preloaded green contour data shows the slope direction and severity of the green on select courses, with an active Garmin Golf app membership.

You can keep score on the watch and upload rounds to the Garmin Golf app for stat tracking and handicap calculation. The AutoShot round analyzer records detected shot distances. It also pairs with optional Approach CT10 club tracking sensors, which add automatic tracking including putts and chips. Preloaded activity profiles cover strength, yoga, cardio and more. The watch also offers wrist-based heart rate, stress tracking, Body Battery energy monitoring and advanced sleep monitoring. Health data is a close estimation of the metrics tracked.

Questions and answers

Can I wear it as an everyday watch?
Yes. It tracks heart rate, sleep, strength, yoga and running, and the ceramic bezel and slim case are designed for daily wear.

Up to 10 days in smartwatch mode and up to 15 hours in GPS mode, which covers multiple rounds between charges.
