A totally new offering from Garmin, the X40, takes after the slimmer design of a Fitbit that should prove to be less obtrusive to your swing, which is important if you're used to shooting a round without wearing any watch at all. That cost the new model a few spots, dropping it to number four. What is clear is that while the new model has a much higher-resolution screen that's sure to please users in the smartwatch era, it's gained that resolution at the expense of battery life, dropping from the previous model's 15 hours down to 12. Why are the numbers going down? Hard to say. Among updates, Garmin's S20, which was previously our number one pick, has been renewed as the company's S10. There have been some product updates since the last time we ranked this category, as well as a few new models to come to market. Still, if yardage is the most important detail you'd like your GPS watch to convey, they'll get the job done. They're less expensive, but they also sacrifice a lot in their interfaces, especially in visualization aids for fairway shapes and green contours. Players willing to give up some of the smartwatch features you see in these high-end models might want to look at the Callaway GPSY or the Izzo Swami. It also uses AMOLED for its screen, making it one of the best choices for viewing in bright sunlight, which is a major concern on the course. One of the newest models out is the golf edition of the Samsung Galaxy Active2, which comes in a black and green colorway that's really attractive.

Its course database is subscription-based, however, and even though the company provides you with three free years of use, it's an undeniable demerit. The Sk圜addie LX5 HD CourseView also boasts a nice big screen, and is far less expensive than the Garmin. It also has a slightly larger display than its predecessor, which is good for golfers and athletes alike. It includes five new sport modes, for example, that work in conjunction with its heart rate monitor to provide real-time activity feedback. Among the product updates in this category, the Garmin Approach S62, upgraded from the S60, has quite a few improvements, even if most of them are geared toward its smartwatch features over its golf features.
