The Garmin Approach S70 smartwatch has been launched. The Approach S70 is a golf-focused smartwatch that comes with a bold OLED display and a 42mm/47mm dial. The high-end Garmin Approach S70 golf watch is the successor to the Approach S62. It importantly sports an OLED display unlike the Approach S62.

Garmin has already used OLED screens in some of its golf-specific models like the Garmin Marq Golfer. The Approach S70 comes in either a 42mm or 47mm option. The smaller model comes in white and grey colorways while the 47mm model is available in black. The brighter display on Garmin golf-focused smartwatches is very useful when golfing. A brighter display is required when viewing full maps of golf courses. There are 43,000+ golf courses from across the world that could be accessed via the smartwatch.

The Approach S70 has a Virtual Caddie that can suggest the club to use based on several factors for optimal performance. The Garmin Golf subscription service provides the complete bouquet of applications available with the Approach S70. The device adds slope direction data which uses maximally the enhanced resolution and color depth of the OLED screen.

The Garmin Approach S70 squares up nicely with some of the brand’s premium offerings. The Garmin Forerunner 965 also sports an OLED screen as the Approach S70. The Approach S70 has slightly more advanced materials in its bezel and it is ceramic.

The Approach S70 has 32GB of storage but cannot store topographic maps, unlike the Forerunner 965. It has a 16-day battery life and several health monitoring sensors including heart rate monitoring. The Approach S70 is rated with 5ATM water resistance and it is priced at $649.99.
