CycleBridge on the Garmin Approach

Garmin’s golf watches. Round AMOLED screens, touch plus buttons, and a Connect IQ level high enough for the app — so a golfer’s watch does the ride on the way to the course.

Supported models

Approach S50
Approach S70 (42 mm)
Approach S70 (47 mm)

Read from the watch app’s Connect IQ manifest when this site is built. Minimum Connect IQ level 3.4.

One of the watch app’s ride pages, at the Forerunner 955’s 260-pixel layout the app scales to every Approach.

The S70 comes in 42 mm and 47 mm and the app scales to either; the S50 is one size. None of the golf-specific features are used — positioning, heart rate, the FIT recorder and the phone link are the whole of it.

How that scaling works, and how the app gets onto the watch, is on the Garmin watches page; pairing the watch to the phone is the Garmin and iPhone or Garmin and Android setup.

What the watch shows

Six values at once on the watchA dense page with no hero at all: speed, average, distance, time, heart rate and climb, together on a 260-pixel round screen.
The climb profile, on your wristThe last 30 minutes of altitude plotted on the watch, over total climb and current elevation.
Splits on the watchThe kilometre in progress greyed at the top, the last three finished ones below with time, pace and heart rate.
Heart rate zones on the watchThe zone you are in as the hero, over one bar per zone sized by time spent there, read from your Garmin profile.
One big number, your choiceThe two core watch pages: a hero metric you pick with three smaller values beneath, and an extended stats page.
How hard it felt, recorded with the rideTwo circular dials after you save — perceived effort and how the ride felt — written into the FIT file itself.
