Approach S1 is unlike any other golf GPS.

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.

This review is from: Garmin Approach S1 Waterproof Golf GPS Watch (Electronics)
This is the most convenient way to use a GPS on the golf course. It provides distance to front, center, and back of the green, auto advances to the next hole, and easily measures shot distances. It doesn't show a graphic of the hole and it doesn't keep score or other stats, but really, who needs a device to do that. It is accurate compared to the other Golf GPS devices out there. I have only had it not find one course I played, and it was a fairly new course in another town. This device loads the courses I regularly play. I could not get the battery to last for 36 holes, but I only play 36 about twice a year. The charging clip is a little bit of a problem to get positioned correctly. It just takes some attention to get all the pins lined up in the holes on the watch. The big factor for me is not having to remember to bring a GPS to the golf course, it's right there on my arm. The next positive factor for me was not having to pay an annual fee. All in all this device works, is convenient, and relatively inexpensive. I have owned a Sky Caddie SG2 and a GolfGuru4. When I needed to buy a new watch, I bought this device, and I'm glad I did.
