The
Approach S6 is a slim, lightweight, feature-packed hi-resolution color
touchscreen GPS golf watch with first-of-its-kind swing metrics.Swing MetricsUse
S6 to train your swing with swing metrics, featuring SwingTempo and
TempoTraining. SwingTempo measures the relationship between upswing and
downswing and expresses it as a ratio. In studies of successful golf
swings, an ideal ratio of 3:1 has emerged, even with individual
variations of speed. TempoTraining uses the 3:1 ratio and gives you
audible tones to synchronize your swing mechanics and fine-tune swing
tempo. Which makes S6 as valuable on the driving range as it is on the
course.CourseView Full Color MapsS6 features full-color
course views for 38,000 international courses and a dedicated CourseView
button to get you to the second shot view quickly. Preview doglegs,
traps and water hazards and pin positioning from wherever you are on the
course, or clubhouse.Approach S6 PinPointerThe PinPointer
blind shot assistance feature — previously only available in our
top-of-the-line handhelds — gives you a directional arrow to the green.
Now you can know where to line up your shot, even if you are in the
woods or deep in a trap.Touch and Move the PinGreen View
shows you the true shape and layout of the green even if you are behind
it. Use the color touchscreen to manually drag-and-drop the pin to the
day’s location. As you move the pin, your distance-to-the-pin numbers
will change respectively. This is especially helpful on par 3’s where
you’ll be able to dial in the distance you need to fire away with
confidence.Instant, Simple and PreciseRugged and water rated
to 5 ATM (50 meters), it displays yardages to the front, back and
middle of greens on a high-resolution, glove-friendly color touchscreen.
And, it lets you manually position pins, get distances to doglegs and
layups, customize yardage points (mark traps and hazards) and print
digital scorecards for Stroke play and Stableford.Smartphone NotificationsNever

in your bag. S6 acts as a wireless extension of your iPad® or iPhone® 4s

the way, the S6 even tells you the time. S6 features an odometer to see
how far you walk. A round timer also is included to keep track of how
long it takes you to play 18 holes.Green View SwingTempoThe
Approach S6 measures your backswing and downswing times and expresses
this in a ratio. According to studies of successful golf swings this
ratio should be 3:1 – your personal swing tempo shows you where you
stand compared to the “optimal ratio.”TempoTrainingTempoTraining

which you can synchronize your swing. Re-synch your tempo on the driving
