Replaced my range finder.
Bought this and does everything that I need. Tells me how far am I from the pin. Love this and never had to use my rangefinder after purchasing this. There fancier models thar calculate your handicap and things. You can check what golf courses they have in their website before purchasing, surpised that all of the courses that I play in are there

The Garmin Approach S12 Smartwatch
The Garmin Approach S12 Smartwatch was very easy to set up and connect to my mobile device. I've used it twice at two different golf courses that I usually play and both courses were in the program. It always knew where I was and gave me front, middle, and back pin placement. It's nice to have all that information right on my wrist. Now if it could only help me with my swing.
