Popular fitness band and smartwatch manufacturer Garmin has introduced yet another innovative smartwatch for the Indian market. The watch is dubbed Garmin Approach S12 and it is targeted at golfers, featuring severe features such as GPS to help them improve their swing and their game. The watch is built to accurately curate data for each swing.

The watch utilizes a round dial with a rugged outlook. The display is a 1.3-inch panel that can be read even inside the sun. The watch also arrives with extra watch bands with a quick-release button to make changing the straps easy.

On the software side, the Approach S12 smartwatch is pre-loaded with over 42,000 golf courses around the world which helps in providing accurate data and aiding the golfer. The player’s data is updated through the Garmin Golf app. The app also keeps the player updated on happenings in the golfing circle and keeps the golfer abreast of his progress by providing various information such as weekly leaderboards, tournaments, review live scoring, strokes gained analysis, automatic scorecard uploads, and much more.

Further, the Approach S12 is said to feature Approach CT10 club sensors which users can decide to pair with for automatic club tracking to see how far players hit each club and for more tracking capabilities.
