Overview
Not a general running watch, the Garmin Approach S70 is a golf watch with an AMOLED touchscreen and GPS yardages. It carries preloaded courses, wind-aware club suggestions, an enhanced PlaysLike distance feature and everyday activity tracking.
The course library and club advice are the reason to consider it, and the touchscreen makes target selection quick. The listing does not give battery life, water resistance or memory, so those details need confirming elsewhere.
Who it's for
Regular rounds on courses worldwide, played with a smartphone nearby, suit this watch. Anyone who needs a multisport trainer or a published battery figure should look at other Garmin watches.
Pros and cons
- Large preloaded course library
- Club suggestions use wind data

Performance notes
GPS positions the watch on the course, and preloaded maps supply yardages to the green and hazards. PlaysLike distance adjusts the number for conditions like elevation, while wind inputs shape the club suggestion.
