If you want a no-nonsense golf watch that covers all the key features without overcomplicating things, the Garmin Approach S12 is an excellent choice. It offers reliable yardage data, clean visuals, and seamless scorekeeping—all in a bright, easy-to-wear design.

The large, high-contrast display is readable even in direct sunlight, so you’ll never squint for numbers. Course recognition is automatic, meaning it picks up your location quickly and gets you going with minimal setup. Plus, it switches holes as you move—no button pressing needed.

Scorekeeping on your wrist keeps things tidy. Once synced with the Garmin Golf app, you can track rounds, compare past performances, and even join weekly challenges. It’s ideal for players who want to measure improvement without adding clutter to their game.

While it doesn’t include advanced touchscreen maps or swing metrics, that’s actually a strength for many golfers. The S12 keeps things fast and focused. It’s great for beginners, casual players, or anyone who prefers function over flair. Just the data you need—nothing more.
