Garmin Approach S20 GPS Golf Watch Review
Figuring out the right distance for each shot is critical to lowering your golf score / handicap. The Garmin Approach S20 GPS Golf Watch has all the bells and whistles of a range finder and GPS all in one tiny package. The S20 golf watch comes standard with an interactive display, free course updates, green views, Text abilities to stay connected, and a minimal yet stylish look. Here is the Golf Review Guys golf review on the Garmin Approach S20 GPS Golf Watch.
The Tech & PerformanceAfter playing a few rounds with the Garmin Approach S20 GPS Golf Watch, I was overall really impressed. Sometimes it is a pain to grab your range finder, or if you forget it in the cart and have to do that delayed walk back. It is nice to have a GPS / yardage calculator on your wrist at all times.
The course selection is on point and the display comes with a sunlight - readability screen. This tool allows you to easily see your watch no matter what the conditions are.

REAL REVIEWS - What do others have to say?" I bought this watch for the everyday use with the benefit of the golf feature, as i already have the Garmin G6 handheld. The battery life is excellent, charged on Monday, wore it all week and it lasted my two weekend rounds(Saturday and Sunday) with 30% left. Yardage with both devices was within a yard of one another. So yardage could be deemed accurate. Some have asked can they get past the non-touch screen feature of this watch. I believe the way it is set up is better,. i know with my G6 and even iPhone, i constantly hit the wrong place and get a different result than I wanted. With the buttons on this watch and highlighted feature you know exactly what you are selecting. Also, this isn't an iWatch you really are not touching the screen that much anyhow. The GPS moves hole to hole, it tracks everything and even loads your steps, time and odometer automatically after the round, so the lack of touch screen won't really effect much. I would highly recommend this watch. I will say that the only negative is the "Black" is much more "Gray" than black. But if that is the only negative than Garmin has done a good job.
last note on the reviews, I was hesitant to buy this watch with a lot of negative reviews However, dug deeper and noticed they were all from 2016. All the 4-5 star reviews were from 2017, so i went ahead and bought. Whatever the issues were in 2016 they have resolved and the watch works as advertised. Buy the watch!" - Erin L " I ordered this GPS watch after much research. I am not disappointed and exceeds all the good review. Garmin has packed so much tech into this entry level watch that is beyond watches that are over $400. You don't get the full course layout or in color but what you get is course accuracy, much more courses than any competitor, ease of updates, and battery that last you over a month. I got this watch over a month ago. Played 3 rounds in single full charge and my watch still has 25% juice left. Just as a watch, battery should last more than 2 months after a full charge. One of the best valued golf GPS and money spent." -Allen Final ThoughtsOverall when it comes to my final thoughts on the Garmin Approach S20 GPS Golf Watch review, I would have to strongly suggest this watch for someone who is looking to get a nice / not over the top golf watch. The Garmin S20 Golf Watch is stylish and works perfectly. I would strongly suggest this watch.
