Our Verdict

The Garmin Approach S40 is a rare blend of form and function, offering GPS precision and everyday comfort in one sleek device. Unlike bulkier models, it sits lightly on the wrist and won’t distract you during your swing. Its touchscreen is responsive and bright, making it easy to read even on sunny days.

During play, the S40 automatically detects your course and hole, showing front, middle, and back distances instantly. The ability to manually move the pin within Green View adds extra control when approaching tight flag placements. Hazard and layup distances are clearly displayed, which is ideal when plotting your strategy.

The automatic shot tracking feature quietly logs how far you hit each shot—no need to tap or tag manually. For golfers who like deeper insights, the S40 is compatible with Garmin’s CT10 sensors, adding even more personalisation. After your round, scores and data sync easily with the Garmin Golf app.

It’s also practical off the course. With smartwatch features like step counting, sleep tracking, and interchangeable bands, the S40 doubles as a fitness tracker and casual timepiece. Its styling feels modern and versatile enough to wear to dinner, not just the driving range.

If you’re after a mid-range GPS watch that looks great and delivers on performance, the S40 is an excellent choice. It’s best for golfers who want helpful data without overwhelming complexity, and who appreciate a watch that fits effortlessly into their lifestyle.
