Manufacturer Description

Approach S1 is unlike any other golf GPS. Combining a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with a lightweight, flexible black or white sport watch, S1 gives you distance information to the front, back and middle of greens for 17,500 preloaded U.S. and Canadian courses. You can measure individual shot distances, track how far you walk on the course, and then use the alarm to get you up in the morning. Approach S1 is golf’s first full-featured sports watch and golf GPS in one.

Lock In Yardages & Measure Distances

Approach S1 will have you dialed in like a pro by providing yardages to the front, back and middle of the green. The sunlight viewable screen features large numbering for at-a-glance visibility. S1 also measures precise yardages for shots played from anywhere on the course. And for those that like to walk, there’s the S1 odometer to tell you how far you traveled – on the course, or off.

No Downloads, No Subscriptions

Unlike many golf GPS devices on the market, S1 comes preloaded with more than 17,500 U.S. and Canadian courses – and we’re adding more all the time. There’s no need for subscriptions, downloads or additional set up – S1 is ready to tee off out of the box.

Sleek Everyday Watch

S1’s cool look belies the tough, rugged, waterproof design. Fitted for course playability, S1 also functions as an every day watch. There’s an alarm, rechargeable lithium ion battery and S1 sets its time and time zone automatically.
