Garmin · Golf
The Garmin Approach® S72 – 43 mm in the Soft Gold/Blush Pink Titanium Bezel with French Gray/Blush Pink ComfortFit Fabric Band configuration is a premium GPS golf smartwatch built for players who want deeper insight, a clearer view of the course, and all-day wear comfort.
A bright AMOLED display, preloaded courses, and advanced on-course tools help support smarter decisions from tee to green. After the round, the watch can connect performance with biometric trends, while a wide range of activity and wellness features keep training and recovery in focus. Battery life is rated up to 10 days in smartwatch mode, with up to 15 hours in Golf Activity Mode (using default settings).
Approach S72 is designed to keep key golf information easy to see during play with an AMOLED (optional always-on mode) touchscreen display. It comes preloaded with 43,000 courses worldwide and delivers practical on-course tools such as distance to the front, middle and back of the green, hazard view, Green View, PinPointer and next hole navigation.
For practice and play, the watch supports detailed swing metrics including hand speed, backswing length, wrist rotation and more, plus a dedicated driving range activity to track metrics for each swing. It also includes putting analysis metrics to help reveal tendencies across single and multiple rounds.
On select courses, green reading can use green contour data to help find a line once the pin location is set. With a Garmin Golf™ membership, the watch can also add green contour data, green reading and aerial imagery to provide an enhanced view of the shot ahead for more informed decision-making.
Design
This configuration pairs a titanium bezel with a ComfortFit fabric band for a lightweight feel at 1.44 oz (41 g) with ComfortFit band. A sapphire crystal lens helps protect the display, and the watch is water-rated to 5 ATM for play in changing conditions. The 43 x 43 x 12.93 mm case fits wrists with a circumference of 130-200 mm, and QuickFit® watch band compatibility (20 mm) makes band changes simple when desired.
Navigation
Approach S72 combines course data with playing tools to support confident club and target choices. It offers PlaysLike distance with yardage adjusted for elevation changes and environmental conditions, plus Virtual Caddie recommendations based on wind, elevation and swing data. Touch-targeting helps check distance to any point on the display, while shot measurement, layup/dogleg yardages, and popup next hole navigation keep the round moving smoothly.
Health
Beyond golf, Approach S72 supports extensive activity profiles and performance tools including training readiness, training status, recovery time, and daily suggested workouts. Wellness features include wrist-based heart rate, stress tracking, sleep coach, HRV status, Body Battery™ energy monitoring, and Pulse Ox blood oxygen saturation tracking (spot-check, and optional all-day and in sleep). For connectivity, it supports Bluetooth®, ANT+®, Wi-Fi®, smart notifications when paired with iPhone® or Android™ smartphones, and phone calling via the built-in speaker and microphone when paired to a smartphone.
