It’s not for runners, triathletes, bikers or hikers. The Garmin Approach S1 is a GPS wrist watch for golfers!  Our Garmin Approach S1 Watch Review Summary will be available as soon as there are enough reviews to summarize, but we’re excited about this new Garmin product. The features are similar to the new Bushnell neo+ handheld device for golf, but the package is smaller.  This watch, when in GPS mode, measures distances to the front, center and back of the green, it can also provide your shot distance, tell time and it even has an alarm.  The best part is that it comes preloaded with 14,000 golf courses, so it’s ready to go out of the box and has no subscription fees.
