They all have more than 42,000 pre-loaded courses from around the world and come with Garmin’s club tracking sensor and golf app for uploading and sharing scorecards, reviewing performance stats and more game-changing features.

“Garmin brings technology to the forefront with the new Approach product line to help golfers play their best game while staying competitive and connected within the golfing community,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales.

“From smartwatches to GPS handheld, our latest Approach devices will also equip novice and veteran golfers alike with precision, style and attention to detail on every swing.”
