Smart golf tool sends precise distances to compatible devices, giving players extra confidence when making decisions on the course
Garmin is helping golfers elevate their game with the launch of the Approach® Z10, a compact yet powerful laser rangefinder that combines pinpoint accuracy with seamless smart connectivity to deliver greater confidence on every shot.
Designed for players who demand precision on the course, the Approach Z10 measures distances to the pin of up to 350 yards with 6x magnification, making club selection and shot planning faster and more accurate. Weighing less than seven ounces, the device is lighter and more compact than most smartphones, making it easy to carry throughout an entire round.
Smarter Distance Measurements with Range Relay
One of the standout features of the Approach Z10 is Garmin’s exclusive Range Relay technology.
Once players lock onto the flag, the measured distance is instantly transmitted to a compatible Garmin smartwatch, golf handheld, or the Garmin Golf™ smartphone app. The paired device then displays a laser range arc, giving golfers a clearer picture of the hole by showing not only the distance to the pin but also the front and back of the green and everything in play.
As players move closer to the target, the displayed yardages update automatically, eliminating the need to repeatedly measure each shot.
“For players that use a Garmin smartwatch or golf handheld on the course, the Approach Z10 can supercharge their devices, making them extremely precise with measurements to the pin, the front and back of the green, and everything else in play,” said Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing.
“We understand the importance of having accurate distances when you’re deciding which club to use and how you approach each shot.”
Built to Improve Every Round
The Approach Z10 comes packed with intelligent features designed to simplify course management while enhancing confidence from tee to green.
Among its key capabilities are:
- Fast Pin Lock with vibration feedback to confirm when the target has been accurately acquired.
- Dynamic Distance, which continuously updates yardages on compatible Garmin devices as players move around the course.
- PlaysLike Distance, which factors elevation changes into yardage calculations to provide more realistic shot distances.
- Tournament Mode, complete with an external indicator light that confirms the device complies with competition rules.
- Magnetic Cart Mount for convenient storage while riding between holes.
- Find My Rangefinder, allowing users to locate the device’s last known position through the Garmin Golf app if misplaced.
- Exceptional Battery Life that provides up to one year of use before battery replacement is needed.
