Swing Metrics
Use Approach S6 to train your swing with swing metrics, featuring SwingTempo and TempoTraining. SwingTempo measures the relationship between upswing and downswing and expresses it as a ratio. In studies of successful golf swings, an ideal ratio of 3:1 has emerged, even with individual variations of speed. TempoTraining uses the 3:1 ratio and gives you audible tones to synchronise your swing mechanics and fine-tune swing tempo. Which makes Approach S6 as valuable on the driving range as it is on the course.
CourseView Full Color Maps
The Approach S6 features full-colour course views for more than 39,000 international courses and a dedicated CourseView button to get you to the second shot view quickly. Preview doglegs, traps and water hazards and pin positioning from wherever you are on the course, or clubhouse.
PinPointer
The PinPointer blind shot assistance feature — previously only available in our top-of-the-line handhelds — gives you a directional arrow to the green. Now you can know where to line up your shot, even if you are in the woods or deep in a trap.
Touch and Move the Pin
Green View shows you the true shape and layout of the green even if you are behind it. Use the colour touchscreen to manually drag-and-drop the pin to the day’s location. As you move the pin, your distance-to-the-pin numbers will change respectively. This is especially helpful on par 3’s where you’ll be able to dial in the distance you need to fire away with confidence.
Instant, Simple and Precise
Rugged and water rated to 5 ATM (50 meters), it displays precise distance to the front, back and middle of greens on a high-resolution, glove-friendly colour touchscreen. Plus, the Approach S6 lets you manually position pins, get distances to doglegs and layups, customise yardage points (mark traps and hazards) and print digital scorecards for Stroke play and Stableford.
Smartphone Notifications
Never miss another text, email or alert just because your smartphone is deep in your bag. Apporach S6 acts as a wireless extension of your Android smartphone, iPad or iPhone 4s or later, displaying whatever your device does, right on your watch. Now you can read that email or text you’ve been waiting for, via Bluetooth, even in the middle of the fairway.
Longer Life Battery
Approach S6 features more battery life for longer play or more rounds. Easily get in a weekend of GPS golf with up to 10 hours in full GPS and up to 20 weeks, depending on mode, before the lithium-ion battery needs to be recharged.
Preloaded Courses and Free Updates
The Approach S6 may be Garmin's lightest, thinnest golf watch, but we've preloaded it with more than 39,000 international courses — without extra fees or paid subscriptions. In addition, you'll be able to download free course updates whenever they become available.
Customise Distances
The Apporach S6 gives you distances to the front, back and center of the green, as well as distances to doglegs. It also allows you to input and save customisable yardage points — such as water hazards or bunkers — fr
