There are several key considerations that we like you to think about when buying any product, these are designed to help you to get the most of your money and also to help you find the very best products from a number of options available. Our first piece of advice is to check out the key features of Approach S60 to ascertain what it is about it that stands out from the competition. We also recommend that you spend a bit of time comparing Approach S60 to other products from Garmin to see how it stacks up against similar products.

Then when you have spent the time looking at some of the key features, we suggest that you write yourself a list of things that your Golf GPS & Rangefinders product must have. These ‘must haves’ can vary from specific features that you’re looking for, or it may be that you’re only willing to buy from a retailer like Clickgolf.co.uk or perhaps you only want a brand such as Garmin. This list will really prove useful when you come to narrowing down your choices and ultimately whether you decide to buy Approach S60 or an alternative option. We can’t stress this enough, once you have written your list, stick to it. So often we’re tempted by a good deal and end up straying away from the criteria that we set ourselves, which can mean we end up spending more, or buying a product that isn’t actually fit for the purpose we originally intended.
