Our take on the Garmin Approach S44

The Approach S44 is Garmin's mid-range GPS golf watch, built around a bright 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen and more than 43,000 preloaded courses. It shows front, middle and back yardages plus hazard and layup distances, keeps score, and uploads rounds to the Garmin Golf app. It sits between the entry-level S12 and the premium S70: it has the color screen and course maps the S12 lacks, but not the S70's full-color hole maps, virtual caddie or swing metrics. It suits golfers who want clear yardages and scoring on the wrist without paying for a flagship watch.

Best forGolfers who want clear yardages on a bright color screenIntermediate to advanced players who play many different coursesPlayers who want to keep score and review rounds in the Garmin Golf appWearers who want a slim silver watch that works for daily use

Questions and answers

Do I need a subscription to use the Approach S44?
No. Preloaded courses, front, middle and back yardages, hazard views and scorekeeping work without a membership. A Garmin Golf membership adds enhanced CourseView maps, green contours, PlaysLike Distance and touch targeting.
How is the S44 different from the Approach S70?
The S70 has full-color hole maps, a virtual caddie and swing metrics on a larger display. The S44 keeps the AMOLED screen and core yardages but leaves out those advanced features, which makes it the simpler option.
How long does the battery last?
Garmin rates it at up to 15 hours in GPS mode, enough for multiple rounds between charges. In normal watch mode it lasts considerably longer.
Can it track my shots automatically?
Only with optional Approach CT10 club sensors, which are sold separately. Without them the watch still gives yardages and keeps score.
What is in the box?
The watch, a charging/data cable and documentation. Bundles may add extra bands, a dust cover and screen protectors, so check what each listing includes.
Is it suitable for daily wear?
Yes. The aluminum case and slim profile make it light on the wrist, and it works as an everyday watch between rounds.
Where is the Garmin Approach S44 cheapest?
At Rock Bottom Golf, for $249.99, 17% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Garmin Approach S44?
16 stores we checked sell it, including Best Buy, ReadyGOLF LLC, Walmart, eBay, Badlands.
