Approach S72
Available in 43 and 47 mm, it adds golf vitals, swing metrics and green reading. Green reading, putt analysis and satellite course images require a Garmin Golf membership.
Everyday features
All three watches have a built-in flashlight; the Approach S72 offers dimmable white and red light. The golf watch also has a speaker and microphone for calls and simple voice commands while your phone is connected. It ships with the new ComfortFit fabric band, and driving range sessions are saved in the Garmin Connect app. Garmin notes the watch is not a medical device, so health readings are guidance only. In the 47 mm version, the battery lasts up to 20 hours in golf mode and up to 16 days as a smartwatch with GPS off.
Who should buy what?
Ultra runners and hikers should pick the Enduro 4, golfers the Approach S72, and buyers who want luxury plus satellite safety the MARQ. Most runners are fine with cheaper Forerunner models. Compare with the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 and the Galaxy Watch9 and Ultra2. More in the Garmin section.
