This video will 2 different golf GPS watches and I&#039;ll be talking about which one is right for you as well as the cheapest place to pick them up. The first is the Garmin Approach X10 golf watch. This is a little bit of an older golf watch from Garmin that was made for people who prefer thinner and more compact watches. It&#039;ll show the distance to the front, middle, and back of the green as well as the distance to hazards and doglegs. The second is the Garmin Approach X40 golf watch. This is a newer and slightly more advanced version that comes loaded with over 40,000 worldwide courses. It comes with a heart rate monitor as well as an app to store your golf data such as average distance for each club, and where your common misses were. Overall, the X10 is a pretty decent device but we&#039;d highly recommend you get the X40 instead. It&#039;s newer with more features and is worth waiting and saving up for if need be.
