The US Open is about to tee off, and if all the excitement has reignited your golf fever, perhaps it's time to invest in some tech to help you up your game. We've tested a whole buggy's worth of the best golf watches on the market, and the standout brand in this area is Garmin. Below, I've rounded up our very favorite Garmin golf watches for you to browse. We've thoroughly tested every one of these watches, and none scored lower than four stars out of five — hit the 'View details' button for a summary of what we thought, plus a link to read the full review.

I've included our very favorite model, the Garmin Approach S70, which TechRadar's resident golf-fanatic Rob Dwiar called "fantastic", declaring it should be "top of your list if you’re after something that will give you the most bang for your buck". On the subject of value for money, you might have noticed a budget-friendly interloper in the Garmin pack: the Shot Scope V5 is well worth considering if you're after an affordable golf watch that nails the basics.

Within Garmin's wider lineup, these watches are the specialized golf options, and some are better than others when it comes to off-the-course features — the super premium MARQ Golfer (Gen 2) being the best performer day-to-day. If you're looking for something for more general use, our best smart smartwatch guide has plenty more options to consider. Now's a really good time to buy, too, because there's an Amazon Prime Day coming up (with plenty of other retailers running rival sales) and there's a good chance we'll see some Garmin bargains in amongst the deals.

Great golfing Garmins (and one bonus)
