In short, here\u2019s my quick review of the Garmin Approach X10:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The X10 is a well-built golf watch that came out a little while ago. That being said, it\u2019s not the one I\u2019d recommend because the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/golf-gps\/garmin-approach-x40\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Garmin Approach X40<\/a>&nbsp;(newer version) is pretty much the same price and has more features. The X40 has more activity tracking and there\u2019s really no reason to go with the X10.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s all the info you were looking for then great.

The X10 is a more basic and less expensive golf watch from Garmin and even though that&#039;s the case, the X10 is still one of the better options on the market. The Garmin Approach X10 isn&#039;t perfect and it doesn&#039;t have all the features, but it is really solid in my opinion. That being said, I&#039;d have to recommend picking up the Garmin Approach X40 watch instead because it&#039;s only a few bucks more and it has a few more features.

watch from Garmin that comes loaded with over&nbsp;<strong>41,000 courses<\/strong>&nbsp;worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has a pretty&nbsp;<strong>small<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>screen<\/strong>&nbsp;(not the best if you have bad eyes) but it\u2019s one of the&nbsp;<strong>easier<\/strong>&nbsp;units to use and it\u2019s as accurate as any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Garmin Approach X10 Features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The X10 has a&nbsp;<strong>touchscreen<\/strong>&nbsp;display and a battery that will last around&nbsp;<strong>10 hours<\/strong>&nbsp;on GPS mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has a GPS that\u2019ll show the distance to the&nbsp;<strong>front, middle, and back<\/strong>&nbsp;of the green as well as the distance to&nbsp;<strong>doglegs, hazards and layup<\/strong>&nbsp;spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also has a digital&nbsp;<strong>scorecard<\/strong>&nbsp;and will help you figure out&nbsp;<strong>how far<\/strong>&nbsp;you hit each shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be able to see the green shape and also it\u2019ll track fairways\/greens hit and&nbsp;<strong>putts per round<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Garmin Approach X10 Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not the biggest fan of wearing watches but one of the reasons I liked this watch was because it was much more&nbsp;<strong>compact<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>comfortable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t big and bulky like a lot of others and it was one of the better and more&nbsp;<strong>simple<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>watches<\/strong>&nbsp;to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>no color<\/strong>&nbsp;display and it\u2019s a fairly&nbsp;<strong>small<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>screen<\/strong>&nbsp;so it could be a bit hard to read if you don\u2019t have the best eyesight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Did The X10 Perform?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing I looked at was the&nbsp;<strong>battery<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>life<\/strong>&nbsp;because a lot of the GPS units out there barely last a full round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our experience, the X10 lasted&nbsp;<strong>2 full rounds<\/strong>&nbsp;and still had a bit of juice left (pretty standard across all Garmin watches).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Garmin has generally produced the best quality GPS units in terms of&nbsp;<strong>accuracy<\/strong>&nbsp;and that was still the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For us, it was always within about&nbsp;<strong>4-5 yards<\/strong>&nbsp;of my laser rangefinder or the markers on the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does It Compare To Others?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The X10 was one of the&nbsp;<strong>better<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>budget<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>golf<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>watches<\/strong>&nbsp;and is better than most on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the more expensive ones are better (<a href=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/golf-gps\/garmin-approach-s60\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Garmin S60<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/bushnell-neo-ion-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bushnell Neo Ion 2<\/a>) but they\u2019re going to cost a bit more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, if you are interested in a watch like this I\u2019d&nbsp;<strong>recommend the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/golf-gps\/garmin-approach-x40\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">X40<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;instead\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a few bucks more and it has&nbsp;<strong>a lot more<\/strong>&nbsp;features (fitness tracking, Garmin Autoshot, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Garmin Approach X10 Specs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure id=\"tablepress-20\"
