Touch & Move the Pin
Green View shows you the true shape and layout of the green. Use the touchscreen to manually move the pin to the day's location. This is especially helpful on par-3s where you'll be able to dial in the distance you need, and fire away with confidence.

Customise the Distances You Need
Approach S3 gives you distances to the front, back and centre of the green, and you can see distances to doglegs. S3 also allows players to input and save customizable yardage points – like water hazards or bunkers – from anywhere on the course.

Keep Score and See How Far You Hit It
Approach S3 debuts digital scorecard options for individual players. You can save, review and print scorecards from your home computer. Plus, when you hit a big one you can see how far it went with the Measure Shot feature.

Choose Your Style
The S3 is available in 2 sharp colour combinations – white with red trim and black with grey trim.

Wear it Everyday
The S3 functions as an everyday watch, and it has a odometer so you can see how far you walk each day, or every round you play. A round timer is also included so you can keep track of how long it took you to play 18.
