In a game where every stroke counts and every metre matters, Garmin has teed up something special for golfers who want to take control of their game. The recently launched Approach® S44 and Approach® S50 GPS smartwatches combine cutting-edge technology with a lightweight, stylish design to keep your game sharp on and off the green.
Whether you’re a weekend warrior chasing a better handicap or a competitive golfer fine-tuning your strategy, these watches are more than scorekeepers, they are your new caddie, coach, and clubhouse conversation starter.
Both the Approach S44 and Approach S50 boast a crisp 1.2” AMOLED display that’s easy to read in bright sunlight—no squinting necessary. The Approach S44 and Approach S50 are slim, comfortable, and packed with over 43,000 preloaded worldwide golf courses, giving you precise distances to the front, middle, and back of every green, hazard, and dogleg.
If you’re stuck behind a tree or hitting blind into a tucked pin, the PinPointer feature comes in handy, showing you where the green lies even when you can’t see it.
S44: Essential Features, Elevated Experience
Designed for golfers who like it simple but sharp, the Approach S44 gives you all the essential tools to plan smarter shots and manage your game better. Track every hazard, keep score, and leave your phone in the cart—you’ll still get smart notifications right on your wrist when paired with your smartphone.
With 15 hours of GPS battery life, you’ll be covered for even the most drawn-out tournament days.
S50: Next-Level Performance, On and Off the Course
Step it up with the Approach S50, which builds on the S44’s solid foundation and adds a whole new dimension. The PlaysLike Distance feature adjusts yardages for elevation changes, helping you pick the right club for uphill and downhill shots—like having a slope-savvy caddie on your wrist.
The S50 doubles as a fitness and wellness powerhouse, featuring wrist-based heart rate tracking, Body Battery™ energy monitoring, stress and sleep analysis, and dedicated activity modes for strength training, yoga, running and more. Featuring a ComfortFit nylon strap, you’ve got a watch you’ll want to wear long after the final putt.
Game Tracking Reimagined
Pair either watch with the new Approach CT1 tracking tags to take your game analysis to the next level. Tag each club and let the system record every shot—from drive to putt—tracking distance, accuracy and club performance. After the round, sync to the Garmin Golf™ app to break down your performance with strokes gained analytics and trend reports.
Prefer automatic tracking? Upgrade to the CT10 tags for seamless integration, or sync your watch with the Approach Z30 laser rangefinder for next-level accuracy using Garmin’s Range Relay feature.
More Than a Watch
Music on your wrist (Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer), Garmin Pay™ for touchless payments, and an always-connected experience round out the offering—making the Approach S44 and S50 not just great golf watches, but great smartwatches, period.
If you’re ready to elevate your golf experience with technology that’s as smart as your swing, the Garmin Approach S44 and S50 should be on your radar.
