Some say technology is overwhelming our game, but when it is useful tech, it can be both fun and beneficial. The Garmin approach S72 Smartwatch certainly falls in that category.
It is designed for on and off the course wear and has such diverse features as a built-in flashlight and biometric measurements (sleep, heart rate, stress) plus when mated with a cell phone handles your calls not to mention green slope graphics. There are both analysis of your putting and full swing metrics which combined with measurement of wind and slope allow the resident virtual caddy to make club recommendations.
All the wearer has to do is the difficult part, hit the shot.
“We’re excited to introduce the next generation of golf technology with Approach S72 and help golfers better understand their whole game,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing. “From biometric data and swing metrics to advanced golf features and everyday smartwatch tools, Approach S72 gives avid golfers the insights they need to take their game to the next level. It’s everything players would want in a golf watch and an everyday smartwatch.”
