The Approach S72 is Garmin's top golf smartwatch, with a lightweight titanium bezel, a ComfortFit fabric band and more than 43,000 preloaded courses. It adds green reading on select courses, aerial shot imagery through a Garmin Golf membership, and a driving range activity that records swing metrics for post-round review. Off the course it tracks heart rate, sleep and everyday health, and runs up to 16 days per charge. It suits serious golfers who want tour-level data on the wrist; casual players will find much of it more than they need, and the best mapping features need the paid membership.

Owners of Garmin's Approach line praise the course data, accurate distances and long battery life, and call the S72 the most complete golf watch Garmin has made. Common complaints center on the membership needed for the best mapping features and on the watch's size for everyday wear.
The Garmin Approach S72 is a golf smartwatch with a lightweight titanium bezel and a ComfortFit fabric band. It comes preloaded with more than 43,000 courses and gives you course data during your round.
On the green, the green reading feature shows the break and where to aim (on select courses). Aerial imagery gives an enhanced look at the shot ahead and requires an active Garmin Golf membership. The driving range activity records your session and provides swing metrics you can review after you finish.
After a round, you can see how heart rate affected your performance and look for trends in how it relates to your overall score. The data presented is a close estimation of the metrics tracked. Away from the course, preloaded activity profiles support strength and mobility work, and the watch monitors everyday health data. Battery life is up to 16 days on a single charge.
