Our take on the Garmin Approach S70 Golf GPS Watch

The Approach S70 is Garmin's premium golf GPS watch, sold in a 42 mm ceramic-bezel case with a 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen. It maps full-color course views, gives front/middle/back distances and plays-like numbers, and doubles as a fitness and health watch with heart rate, sleep and step tracking. It suits golfers who want a watch they can wear off the course and who prefer a screen over a rangefinder. Against cheaper Garmin golf watches it adds the bright AMOLED display and ceramic build; against laser rangefinders it trades pinpoint flag accuracy for hole overviews and no aiming.

Best forGolfers who want a wearable GPS instead of a rangefinderPlayers who want one watch for golf and daily fitnessGolfers who value a bright, readable screen in sunlightStyle-conscious buyers wanting a ceramic-bezel watch

Pros

Bright AMOLED touchscreen is easy to read outdoors
Full-color hole maps with front, middle and back distances
Plays-like distances account for elevation and wind

Cons

Premium build puts it well above basic golf GPS watches
42 mm case may feel small for larger wrists
Battery life falls short of simpler golf watches when GPS is used heavily
No laser ranging, so flag distance is GPS-based
Touchscreen can misread taps with a glove or in rain

Questions and answers

Is the Approach S70 worth it over cheaper Garmin golf watches?: If you want a bright AMOLED screen, full-color maps and a watch you can wear daily, yes. Cheaper models give distances without the display and ceramic build.
How is it different from the Approach S62?: The S70 moves to an AMOLED touchscreen and a ceramic bezel in a smaller 42 mm case. The S62 has a larger case and a transflective display with longer battery life.
Does it work as a normal smartwatch?: It tracks steps, heart rate, sleep and workouts, and shows phone notifications over Bluetooth. It is not a full smartwatch with apps like an Apple Watch.
Can I use it without my phone on the course?: Yes. GPS and course maps work on the watch alone. Pair with the Garmin Golf app afterward to sync scorecards and stats.
Is it waterproof enough to swim in?: It carries a 5 ATM rating, which covers rain, splashes and shallow swimming. It is not built for diving.
What is in the box?: The watch, a charging cable and documentation. Courses are downloaded through the Garmin Golf app.
Where is the Garmin Approach S70 Golf GPS Watch cheapest?: At 2nd Swing Golf, for $429.99, 34% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Garmin Approach S70 Golf GPS Watch?: 15 stores we checked sell it, including 2nd Swing Golf, Paragon Sports, Best Buy, DICK'S Sporting Goods, Target.
