Garmin Approach S1

Zitat: + Überraschenderweise ist diese GPS-Uhr kaum am Handgelenk spürbar. Und dass man mal eben, nur durch einen raschen Blick, Schlagweite und Entfernung zum Grün erfährt, ist mehr, als man von einer Uhr erwartet. - Nur drei verschiedene Längenangaben sind etwas wenig für einen GPS-Golf-Entfernungsmesser. Trotz Leichtigkeit: Mit einer Uhr am Handgelenk zu golfen ist nicht jedermanns Sache!

Zitat: Recommended Pros: + Super-easy to use + Encourages you to practice + Practically all European courses covered + No post-purchase charges Cons: - GPSenabled smartphones offer more for less The GPS unit also provides a function that can measure the distance of a particular shot, handy for the long-hitting show-offs. On a more prosaic level the feature is useful for when practicing and gauging overall hitting distances for particular clubs, and it doesn´t need to be dialled into a course or hole for it to work. The S1 also has a built-in odometer that tracks overall mileage covered, though, understandably, it misses out on the bells and whistles found on the Forerunner range. Understanding just how far to hit a particular golf shot is important in becoming a consistent golfer. It makes club selection simpler and gives better insight into true yardages. The Garmin S1, while basic, tells you all the important information from an easy-to-use GPS watch. Practice 70-yard pitches and you´ll have more confidence the next time you have to play the same-distance shot in a match. And using GPS isn´t cheating; the S1´s use is sanctioned by the USGA and R&A. £170 is a considerable outlay for a basic golf-orientated GPS watch, especially when feature-rich smartphone apps, which offer significantly more information, are available for £20. But the Garmin Approach S1´s raison d´etre lies in its simplicity; there´s no extraneous information to cloud the judgment of the golfer and information is, quite literally, to hand at all times. Incredibly easy to use and rather stylish for a GPS device, the Approach S1 is recommended for its ease of use, especially if judging distances isn´t your forte.

Zitat: Was uns gefällt: + einfache Bedienung + leichtgewichtig Was uns nicht gefällt: - verzwicktes Laden des Akkus Die Garmin Approach S1 übernimmt zwar noch nicht den Abschlag, aber die präzise und einfach zu benutzende GPS-Golf-Uhr gibt dem Hobby-Golfer die Sicherheit, dass er gerade zum richtigen Eisen gegriffen hat.

Zitat: Editor´s Choice The Good: + Easy to use + Lightweight The Bad: - Slightly awkward to recharge It won´t make the shot for you, but this accurate and simple to use GPS golf watch will give you more confidence that you´re making the correct club selection.
