Garmin Approach S20 GPS Watch

Overall, this watch works very well but you’ll need some time before you can figure out how it works. And it’s packed with a number of features that not everyone will use. But for the purposes of recording and keeping track of scores, it serves its purpose. The quality is top-notch and the distances are accurate. As you’re aware, accuracy is important when it comes to golf. This watch allows you to manually adjust where the pin is located on the green. But the best feature in my opinion has to be the Garmin Connect. I always like to review my performance during an entire round so I know which areas I need to improve in. And this watch gives me data that allows me to do just that.

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.

Garmin gives us a few color choices, with black, white and midnight teal options. With a solid set of features, a reasonable price, and Garmin’s continued excellent course coverage, this watch is a good choice for those who don’t need all the bells and whistles, but are looking for a strong performer.

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.
