Garmin Approach J1 junior GPS watch, lilac/silver aluminium

The Garmin Approach J1 is the first GPS golf watch purpose-built for junior golfers. Slim and lightweight, it features a soft ComfortFit fabric band that sits comfortably on smaller wrists and stays completely out of the way during the swing. A simplified touchscreen interface shows only the most relevant on-course information, so young players can focus on the game and develop sound course-management habits from the very first round.

The watch offers access to more than 43,000 preloaded golf courses worldwide and makes it easy to record a score after every hole. Features such as the pace-of-play timer, club suggestions, and achievement celebrations keep the round fun and motivating, while automatic personal par and a customisable learning environment build confidence at every skill level.
