About Garmin Approach S44 GPS Golf Smartwatch

If you’re serious about shaving strokes off your game, the Approach S44 is made for you. This lightweight GPS golf smartwatch puts vital info like distances, hazards, and shot tracking right on your wrist. With over 43,000 preloaded courses and up to 15 hours of battery life in GPS mode, it’s built for golfers who want clarity, precision, and convenience every round.

Lower your score with clear, on-wrist course data

You're lining up a shot. You know the distance matters — not just to the green, but to the front, middle, and back. The Approach S44 delivers that instantly. You get a bright, easy-to-read AMOLED display that shows distances and hazards clearly. No squinting. No second-guessing. And with more than 43,000 preloaded courses, chances are your favorite track is already loaded and ready.

Navigate every hole with confidence. Hazard view helps you avoid bunkers and water. Layup distances keep you in play. When every stroke counts, knowing exactly where you stand helps you make better decisions — and better shots. You’ll play faster, too, with no need to consult a phone or paper map.

  • 1.2-inch AMOLED display for easy visibility
  • Distances to front, middle, and back of the green
  • Hazard view and layup info for smarter shot planning
  • Over 43,000 preloaded golf courses worldwide

Track your performance and know where to focus

Guesswork doesn't improve your game. The S44 helps you collect real data from your rounds. Keep score directly on your wrist — no pencil or scorecard needed. Then, upload your game to the Garmin Golf app for a detailed look at your stats. Find patterns. Spot weaknesses. Improve faster.

Want deeper insight? Pair it with the optional Approach CT10 sensors to automatically track your club performance. See average distances, tendencies, and missed shots — all without changing your routine. The S44 doesn't just tell you how you played. It shows you how to play better.

  • Automatic scorekeeping during your round
  • Stat tracking through Garmin Golf app
  • Supports Approach CT10 sensors for club-by-club analysis
  • Monitor performance trends over time

Stay connected without breaking focus

You shouldn’t have to pull out your phone just to see a text. The S44 keeps you connected while you play. Smart notifications pop up right on your wrist — whether it's a call, message, or calendar reminder. You’ll stay in the loop without leaving the course or interrupting your flow.

This isn't just a golf watch — it fits your life. From tee-off to errands to dinner, its sleek design and interchangeable bands make it easy to wear anywhere. And when paired with your smartphone, it gives you just enough connectivity without turning your round into screen time.

  • Smart notifications including calls, texts, and alerts
  • Compatible with iPhone and Android
  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear
  • Switchable bands to match your style

Play more rounds on a single charge

Battery life shouldn’t be something you worry about between the front and back nine. With up to 15 hours in GPS mode, the Approach S44 easily lasts for a full day of golf — and then some. If you're squeezing in rounds over the weekend or playing a tournament, it's one less thing to think about.

And in watch mode, you can go days without plugging in. It’s one of those details that sounds small — until you're on hole 17 with 3% left. The S44 is built to keep up with your game, not slow it down.

  • Up to 15 hours of battery life in GPS mode
  • Multiple days of use in smartwatch mode
  • Designed for long rounds and weekend golf trips
  • Charge less, play more

Know the course like a local — even if it’s your first time there

Whether you’re playing your home course or trying somewhere new, the Approach S44 gives you the info you need to step up with confidence. You don’t need to ask someone where the hazards are or guess at the layout. With detailed maps and intuitive navigation, you’ll feel like you’ve played it before.

And with a Garmin Golf membership, you unlock even more precision. Contour maps show you the slopes of the green. PlaysLike Distance adjusts yardages based on elevation changes. Just tap to target any point on the hole and see the number. It's like having a caddie, without the chatter.

  • CourseView maps with hole layouts and hazard details
  • Green contour data (with membership)
  • PlaysLike Distance adjusts for elevation
  • Touch targeting gives distance to any point

Great Golf Watch, Needs Better Band Durability

I only gave it 4 stars because the band isn’t good .. can’t get my hand inside it , I’d buy a replacement band right away but as far as the watch itself I’ll give it only 4.5 stars because it doesn’t feel that durable but the screen is amazing and it is an amazing golf watch
