The Garmin Approach S20 is one of the best basic golf watches on the market. Its modest design is balanced by seamless functionality and a neat Garmin Golf app. And priced at $199, it's one of the most affordable golf wearables available.

As an entry level product, the S20 offers a surprisingly wide selection of useful features. It takes a while to get used to how to access them, but the reward is an abundance of information on your wrist from a device that looks the part off the course as well as on it.

The Approach S20 looks like a strapless Approach G10 with an extra £60 on the price tag for putting it on your wrist and the option of connecting to the TruSwing. Even with the mind bending navigation, the clip on G10 could be a reasonable buy as a budget GPS. However at the higher price point the S20 watch comes up against stiffer opposition that may not look as good, but is more user friendly. If you particularly want a Garmin GPS watch for all the connection opportunities, then if you can afford it, the Approach S4 or Approach S6 with the touch screen menu and on screen message notifications from your phone would be the ones to go for.

I’d say the S20 is definitely better than some of the GPS watches we’ve tested before. It’s a great entry-level golf watch, and even though it doesn’t have all the features in the world, it’s not going to break the bank.
