Garmin Approach S1 GPS Golf Watch

 

Convenient - distance information always with you on your wrist., Reasonable cost ($249 - $255), Free (with product lifetime updates) 16,500+ U.S. and Canadian golf course database., Also serves as a normal watch (shows time and date).

Some golfers prefer not to wear a watch while they play., Doesn't show hole overviews or distances to hazards.

Golfers Need All The Help They Can Get!

Oddball charging system - instead of a plug, it's a clamp. After one or two uses, you get the idea. Distances are only to the published 'center' of the greens - you still have to estimate how far the cup is from the center. Will not give distances...
