The Garmin Approach® S70 - 42 mm in the Black/Amp Yellow Ceramic Bezel with Powder Gray Silicone Band configuration is a premium GPS golf watch built for players who want clear on-course guidance and strong all-day wearability.
Its 1.2” AMOLED touchscreen delivers an easy-to-read view of full-color CourseView maps, distances, hazards, and scoring tools across 43,000+ preloaded courses. Beyond the course, it supports 24/7 health monitoring and activity tracking, plus multiple sport profiles for training. With smart features such as notifications (when paired with a compatible iPhone® or Android™ smartphone), music options, and Garmin Pay™ contactless payments, it’s designed to stay useful from the first tee through the rest of the day.
A superbright 1.2” AMOLED touchscreen presents key golf and daily data in a clean, easy-to-read format. With 390 x 390 pixels of resolution and optional always-on mode, it’s built to keep information visible and quick to access during play and throughout the day.
Approach® S70 arrives preloaded with 43,000+ courses worldwide, including full-color CourseView maps. On the course, it can show distance to the front, middle and back of the green, plus hazard details and tools such as Green View and touch-targeting for distance to any point.
For more informed decisions, the watch provides an enhanced PlaysLike distance feature that adjusts yardage for elevation changes and environmental conditions. An improved virtual caddie can recommend a club based on wind, elevation, and swing data, with a shot dispersion chart to highlight hazards that may come into play.
Connectivity
Approach® S70 supports on-course scoring and round management with features such as a digital scorecard, stat tracking, and Garmin AutoShot™ for detected shot distance. It can also pair with Approach® CT10 club tracking sensors (sold separately) for expanded club tracking. Tournament mode is available for tournament legal use. Wind speed and direction require connection to the Garmin Golf™ app, and Green Contours are available with an active Garmin Golf™ membership.
Health
Away from the course, the watch delivers 24/7 health monitoring and activity tracking features such as wrist-based heart rate with abnormal heart rate alerts, HRV status, stress tracking, Body Battery™ energy monitoring, and sleep score with advanced sleep monitoring. It also supports hydration tracking and women’s health tracking in the Garmin Connect™ app (and optional Connect IQ™ widgets). Pulse Ox blood oxygen tracking is available as spot-check and optionally during sleep.
Training
To build fitness across seasons, Approach® S70 includes preloaded activity profiles spanning strength, HIIT, yoga, running, cycling, pool swimming, hiking and more. It supports training and analysis tools such as training status, recovery time, training load, VO2 Max (run) and VO2 Max (trail run), interval training, and advanced workouts. Workouts can also be created in the Garmin Connect™ app on a compatible smartphone using more than 1,600 exercises.
Battery
With Bluetooth®, ANT+®, and Wi-Fi® connectivity, the watch supports smart notifications when paired with an iPhone® or Android™ smartphone, plus Connect IQ™ apps, watch faces, and data fields. Music can be downloaded from Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music or YouTube® Music accounts for phone-free listening, and a subscription may be required in the same sentence. Battery life is rated for up to 10 days in smartwatch mode and up to 15 hours in GPS mode (using default display settings: gesture wake-up in Smartwatch mode and always-on while golfing).
