The Garmin Approach S12 is available in three different color versions. This allows ladies and gentlemen to be targeted. You can choose between a model in a completely neutral black color scheme, a specimen with a white strap and black bezel, and a variant in granite blue, whose case is also designed in black.

Since the fitness watch has received certification up to 5 ATM against water penetration, it can remain on the wrist even when showering without suffering any damage. Its transflective display has a diagonal of 0.9 inches and resolves at 175 x 175 pixels. It is capable of displaying content legibly in all lighting conditions. The 34.1 gram light Garmin Approach S12 is operated via the four buttons, two of which are evenly distributed on the right and two on the left of the casing’s edge.

All the basics for a successful game on the green directly on the wrist

Golfers are the target group of the Garmin Approach S12, and this model should explicitly address them. It is sent on its way by the manufacturer with map material from a good 42,000 courses worldwide. Thanks to GPS technology, the watch immediately recognizes where it is together with its owner.

It provides the owner with all the important data so that he can get the most out of his game. This includes in particular the distances to the front, middle and back of the green. Distances to doglegs and obstacles can also be viewed.

If you use a golf sensor like the Garmin Approach CT10, you can have the Approach S12 collect additional data about your golf swing.

All statistics collected by the golf watch can then be viewed in the Garmin app. There, athletes can also compete with each other and take part in weekly challenges. The battery life is up to 30 hours with the GPS module permanently on. Users who operate the Garmin Approach S12 exclusively in watch mode can count on its services for up to ten weeks at a stretch.
