Satellite navigation company Garmin Ltd. have added a stylish new watch to their market-leading Approach Series.
The Approach S2 is a lightweight GPS golf watch that comes in a range of colours and is ideal for everyday wear.
The watch comes preloaded with coordinates for over 30,000 worldwide courses and allows you to view individual shot distances thanks to its satellite navigation system.
