Garmin Approach S12 GPS Watch

The Garmin Approach S12 is the company's affordable entry-level golf GPS watch which still packs in powerful features, fast functionality and decent looks.

When it comes to wearable tech on the golf course there is often a trade off between functionality and ease of use. If you are looking for something very simple that works well from the off, the Garmin Approach S12 ticks the box. The yardages are accurate and well-displayed albeit on a fairly basic, black and white screen.

Simple, efficient, and affordable, the Garmin Approach S12 is a stylish option to have on the course to help navigate every hole. Whether you need help with new, unfamiliar courses or just need a replacement for the laser rangefinder, give the S12 a shot.

The S12 has corrected all of the bad points about the S10 but it has not added too much in terms of features. The S12 is certainly still an entry level watch but that is going to be a selling point for plenty of golfers who just want to keep things simple technology wise and this blows anything else around the $200 mark out of the water by all means. If you are on a budget, the S10 is available for about $60 dollars at $140 and is still an excellent watch. If you have a bit more money the Mid Range S42 for $300 and the Premium S62 For $499 are both excellent watches worth considering.

A simple, no-frills golf watch that doesn't break the bank. If you're not bothered about advanced golf tracking metrics, or your golf watch being useful when you're away from the course, this lightweight and affordable device comes recommended.
