AMOLED DISPLAY
The vivid 1.2-inch colour AMOLED touchscreen clearly shows distances to the green, hazards and layups across more than 43,000 courses worldwide. The always-bright display is easy to read in full sunlight, ensuring you always have the information you need at a glance.

PLAN YOUR SHOT
Get distances to the front, middle and back of the green at a glance. The hazard view also puts every bunker, water hazard and layup option in front of you on a single screen, so you can make a confident, well-informed club selection every time you step up to the ball.

ENHANCED GAMEPLAY
With a Garmin Golf membership you unlock enhanced full-colour CourseView maps for every hole, green contour data, PlaysLike distances and the Touch Target feature for an exact distance to any point on the hole — giving you the competitive edge you need to score your best.

PLAYSLIKE DISTANCE
Understand the true playing distance of every shot by accounting for uphill and downhill elevation changes as well as weather conditions such as wind, temperature and air pressure. The built-in barometer delivers even more accurate PlaysLike distances so you always know which club to reach for.

PREINSTALLED ACTIVITY PROFILES
With up to 40 preinstalled activity profiles for strength training, yoga, cardio and many more, you can build the strength and flexibility needed to add distance off the tee, reduce the risk of injury and stay fit year-round — not just during the golf season.

Wrist-based heart rate measurement, stress tracking, Body Battery™, advanced sleep monitoring and more provide a comprehensive picture of your overall health, so you can arrive at the first tee fully prepared and perform at your very best on every hole¹.
