If you want to know how far the pin is but don’t want to lug a hand-held GPS around, Garmin has just the gadget to keep at arm’s length.

The Approach S1 doubles as a digital wristwatch, working out where you are on the course using its inbuilt GPS and displaying yardages to the front, middle and back of greens.

Waterproof and lightweight, it comes pre-loaded with over 7,400 UK and European golf courses, including Ireland, Spain, Portugal and France. No subscription is needed. The Approach S1’s rechargeable lithium-ion battery lasts up to eight hours in GPS mode and up to three weeks in watch mode.

As a watch, it features an alarm and automatic time and time zone detection. In golf mode, it displays a list of nearby courses and once one is selected, it provides the three distance options on every hole, automatically transitioning from one hole to the next and displaying each hole number and par. It also acts as a GPS-enabled odometer, allowing golfers to track the total distance they cover on each round or when out for a walk.

Originally available in black, the S1 now also comes in white and has an RRP of £179.
