Garmin has today unveiled not one, but four brand new devices in its beloved golfing lineup: two smartwatches, a club tracker, and a new GPS handheld.
The new Approach S44 and S50 are smartwatches with AMOLED displays, replete with 43,000 golf courses preloaded as standard. Get a look at hazards, distances to the green, and up to 15 hours of battery life in GPS. The S44 helps you navigate the course and can pair with an iPhone or Android smartwatch to deliver notifications including emails and texts.
The S50 is similar but also comes with a heart rate monitor, activity tracking, and Garmin wellness features, including its Morning Report and Body Battery energy monitoring. Each can also provide stroke tracking and analysis, thanks to the new Approach CT1 tracking tacks, which can be attached to your club’s grip to collect data from your swing.
