Our take on the Garmin Approach S44 Golf GPS Watch

The Garmin Approach S44 is a lightweight golf GPS watch that shows distances to the front, middle and back of the green and to hazards on more than 43,000 preloaded courses. It adds a full-color touchscreen, shot tracking and smartwatch notifications, so it doubles as an everyday watch. It suits golfers who want reliable course data without carrying a rangefinder or phone. Against cheaper GPS watches it offers a sharper display and Garmin's course library; against rangefinders it gives quicker reads but no exact pin distance.

Questions and answers

Does the Approach S44 need a subscription?
No. Course data comes preloaded and Garmin does not charge a subscription for basic distances and hazards.
Does it give slope-adjusted distances?
No. It shows standard front, middle and back distances and hazard carries, without the slope compensation a rangefinder offers.
Can I wear it as an everyday watch?
Yes. It is light, shows phone notifications and tracks steps and activities, so it works away from the course.
Does it track shots and keep score?
Yes. It records shots and lets you enter your score during the round, then review the round later in the Garmin app.
How does it compare with a rangefinder?
It is faster for front, middle and back reads and works without pointing at a target, but a rangefinder gives an exact pin distance and slope data.
Where is the Garmin Approach S44 Golf GPS Watch cheapest?
At PlayBetter, for $299.99, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Garmin Approach S44 Golf GPS Watch?
