Garmin Approach S2 Golf GPS Range

Garmin have announced the launch of the new the Approach S2 GPS golf watch following the successful introduction of the Garmin S1. The S2 comes preloaded with over 30,000 worldwide courses, and is ready to play right out of the box without any subscriptions or fees.

The Approach S2 measures distances to the front, middle and back of the green, in addition to displaying layup and dogleg distances at a glance. The new integrated digital scorecard allows players to keep track of the strokes at any time during the round.

Fashion conscious golfers need not worry as the S2 range is available in three new colour-versions and offers a fashionable, yet functional design that is sleek enough for everyday wear as well as on course.  The sporty watch is also ultra-light weighing a mere 52 grams but still maintaining rugged durability and waterproof to 10m.

The S2  allows you to concentrate 100% on your game – no complicated setup, no searching for the right golf course or specific hole, so your playing partners won't be effected. Before you start to play; just switch on S2, it detects which golf course you are on and even transfers you automatically from one hole to the next. Ensuring you're receiving the correct information for the hole you are on.

The S2 can be used anywhere in the world and because over 30,000 worldwide courses are onboard, golfers will never have to worry about data fees nor roaming charges. For golfers traveling, playing unfamiliar courses, or perhaps wanting to simply better understand their regular courses at home, they will be able to improve their score and turn a few heads while doing so with the Approach S2. The S2 also offers lifetime course updates without a subscription or any additional fees. The digital scorecard feature allows for scores to be saved, viewed and analysed via computer. Scores can also be printed, making it easier for golfers to keep a record of their rounds.

For those wanting to track their fitness, there is even an odometer to tell golfers how far they have walked.

The Approach S2 will be available March 2013 and have a suggested retail price of £209 and will be available at specialty golf retailers and golf course pro-shops.
