White Garmin Approach S1

Now available in WHITE! Garmin S1 Approach golf watch is one of the highest rated GPS golf rangefinders on the market, which makes it an excellent candidate for additional colors. Besides that, we’ve noticed that the White Garmin Approach S1 is often on sale for quite a bit less than the original black golf watch.


Garmin Approach S1 Watch Review Score:
4.5 Stars 4.5 out of 5 (761 reviews)

Score compiled from multiple sources including Amazon, GolfSmith and TGW.

You may want to read our complete Garmin S1 Review, but this GPS golf watch is the highest rated GPS device we’ve found, with the exception of the Bushnell Hybrid laser rangefinder. It doesn’t offer a huge amount of features, but does offer the ultimate in convenience. The Garmin Approach S1 gives yardage to the front, middle and back of every green. It automatically goes from hole to hole, so there is very little user input required. It’s designed for golfers who want information quickly and no unnecessary distractions.
