Garmin Approach J1 Junior GPS Watch - Black

BUILT SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUNG GOLFERS

The Garmin Approach J1 is a junior-first GPS golf watch designed to help young players learn the game in a fun, confidence-building way. Rather than adapting adult technology, Garmin has created a watch that fits smaller wrists comfortably while offering features that support skill development and enjoyment on the course.

From age-appropriate tee guidance to simple scoring and pace awareness, the Approach J1 makes golf easier to understand and more engaging. It's ideal for juniors taking their first steps into the game or those continuing to develop consistency and confidence.

LIGHTWEIGHT, JUNIOR-FRIENDLY COMFORT

A slim profile and ultra-light construction ensure the watch feels natural on the wrist. The soft ComfortFit fabric strap stays secure without restricting movement, allowing juniors to swing freely and stay focused throughout the round.

SMART TEE GUIDANCE MATCHED TO SKILL LEVEL

Forward tee options are available across more than 43,000 courses worldwide, helping each hole play to a junior golfer's distance capabilities. This creates a more enjoyable experience while encouraging better decision-making and course management.

BUILT-IN PACE-OF-PLAY SUPPORT

An easy-to-read visual pace-of-play indicator helps juniors stay aware of their speed around the course. It promotes good etiquette and flow of play in a friendly, pressure-free way.

FUN ACHIEVEMENT CELEBRATIONS

On-watch animations celebrate milestones and positive moments during play. These small rewards help keep young golfers motivated and excited about improving their game.

HELPFUL CLUB RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the clubs set up in the watch, juniors receive simple club suggestions to speed up decision-making. This supports learning while keeping the round moving smoothly.

ADJUSTABLE PERSONAL PAR

Personal Par settings allow scoring targets to be tailored to the golfer's current ability. This encourages achievable goals, builds confidence, and makes progress easier to track.

CLEAN, EASY-TO-USE DISPLAY

The interface is stripped back to show only essential information. By removing unnecessary distractions, the watch remains easy to understand and intuitive for younger players.

43,000+ COURSES READY TO PLAY

With over 43,000 preloaded courses worldwide, juniors can play familiar layouts or discover new venues with instant GPS distances straight from the watch.

ON-WATCH SCORE RECORDING

Scores can be entered directly after each hole, helping juniors learn responsibility and develop proper scoring habits during every round.

FEATURES THAT EVOLVE WITH THE PLAYER

As skills improve, learning-focused tools can be switched off. This allows the Approach J1 to transition from beginner-friendly guidance to a more traditional GPS watch over time.

READY FOR ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS

Rated to 5 ATM, the watch is built to handle rain, splashes, and everyday wear. Juniors can keep playing comfortably whatever the conditions.

LONG-LASTING BATTERY PERFORMANCE

Up to 15 hours of battery life in GPS mode ensures enough power for a full day of golf without interruptions.

GARMIN GOLF APP CONNECTION

Syncing with the Garmin Golf app allows juniors and parents to review scorecards, monitor pace-of-play, and follow progress over time for a more connected learning experience.
