Garmin Approach X40 Review

Golf bands are definitely a game changer for the sport itself as well as for its participants. This band, in particular, is a great choice for golfers from all around the world. First of all, it features a GPS tracker which utilizes various technologies to offer you a precise result. Apart from that, this band also features a heart rate monitor which is a prerequisite by some fitness tracker users. What makes it such as great choice for golf is the ability to measure your shot distance and there is even a handy scoreboard where you can keep score right there on your wrist.

Pros / What Customers Like:

  • Even though this tracker is advertised as a gold tracker, it still tracks the number of steps you took, the distance you covered and calories you burned.
  • Any tracker which contains both a GPS tracker and a heart rate monitor can be considered great.
  • You can still handle the notifications coming from your smartphone with ease.
  • There are various modes you can use to improve your overall experience.

Cons / What Customers Don't Like:

  • The battery life could definitely be better since you can’t expect your tracker to work more than 9 hours with GPS turned on.
  • Customers have reported that the app can feel buggy sometimes but that might be improved with future updates.
  • The price is definitely high but it’s something you need to pay if you want a high-end tracker like this one.

Verdict:

Garmin Approach X40 is definitely a great fitness tracker for people who are as serious as they can be about their preferred activity. However, it’s not perfect and certain things could use some improvement if Garmin wants to justify their high price tag on this one. This is still an awesome fitness tracker and it includes every feature you would want to see on a golfing fitness tracker.
