One of the best tech articles I have added to my equipment arsenal over the past few years Garmin Approach S70 they look The watch not only looks great, it also has a number of useful functions. It gives space, but it also shows me a full-color display of the hole I’m on, thanks to an extensive library of more than 40,000 preloaded courses, as well as space steps at every point on the hole, so I can more easily determine my strategy. When I’m playing with others, I can quickly jump to a shuttle or any other required intermediate distance with a quick tap on the watch face.
Another feature I like: The battery is long and the USB charger even fits in my car, so if I forget to charge before a round (which has happened more than once), I can plug it in on the way and charge enough to get through the round. The watch also works as a step and heart rate tracker, so you can wear it to the gym and keep track of your progress.
I Tried It: The Garmin Approach R50 is the first launch monitor of its kind
