Garmin Approach S3 GPS Watch - White/Red The Garmin Approach S3 GPS Watch is a device golfers can use from the tee box to the green. It expands upon the distance-to-the-green information (front, middle, and back) found in the popular S1 and adds additional features to navigate the entire hole and speed up play. The convenient and easy-to-use touchscreen has been added to designated buttons and makes an already easy-to-use interface even simpler and glove friendly. The high-resolution display of the S3 has eight-times more pixels than the S1. This added detail offers the capability for more advanced features, such as score keeping for stroke play or Stableford. The screen has high reflectivity that enhances brightness with sunlight so that you can read it anywhere. Additional features: Glove-friendly, high-resolution touch screen Distance to doglegs, lay-ups, front, middle, and back of green Preloaded with 25000+ worldwide courses (free updates available) No subscriptions or fees required |

Nice upgrades over the original
Sunday November 18, 2012
After owning the Garmin S1 and selling it to another family member, I decided to buy a S3 for myself. First of all, it is a very nice looking digital watch, and it looks good on and off the golf course. I opted to buy it in black.
I found the watch easy enough to use, although clearing it out of lock mode is a pain once in a while. I enjoyed the new features such as setting the pin position and layup distances. Battery life seems to be a little better than the S1, but you are not getting more two rounds between charges. Overall, if you are looking to pick up a GPS golf watch, I would recommend spending the money on this one. | ||||||||

Garmin S3
Sunday November 18, 2012
I decided to make the S3 over the S1 due to world wide courses on the watch, if you go for S1 it will be North USA or if you are in Europe, courses over here.
The gps on the watch is great, the one thing id say is that you must remember to charge the watch up, you will get 2 rounds from the gps on the watch. The watch gives you good lay up distances and front middle back green distances, and if you know the pin position you can use te green view feature to place the pin to get a yardaage, well roughly to help with approach shots. you can lock the phone so you can only read your distances and it also has a measure function to work your Bubba Drive out !! The only 2 Things i would say are, its a bit bulky and the battery does need charged up. As for the price, Garmin watches do hold a gd price in all retailers but im very happy with it and i would say go for it to anyone who is just needing the nod .... | ||||||||
