Easy-to-use device relays ranged distances to
smartwatches and the Garmin Golf app, and provides more
on-course features to help elevate your game
OLATHE,
Kan., June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
(NYSE: GRMN) today announced the Approach®
Z30 laser range finder, the latest addition to the Garmin
golf ecosystem, helps golfers see the course in new ways. This
innovative device offers excellent ranging performance and
introduces the Range Relay feature, which sends ranged distances to
a compatible Garmin smartwatch or the Garmin Golf™ smartphone
app. Once the target has been locked in by the Approach Z30, the
ranged distance and a laser range arc will display on the paired
Garmin device to give players a visual indication of the pin
position and everything in play around it.
Designed to provide golfers with even more situational awareness
on the course, the Approach Z30 delivers fast and precise distance
readings1 up to 400 yards away, gives players six times
magnification through the viewfinder and vibrates once it locks in
on the pin.
"Golfers will love using the Approach Z30, which seamlessly
integrates with many other products in Garmin's ecosystem. You'll
never have to guess your distance to the pin as the Z30 provides
quick and accurate measurements and displays them on your
compatible smartwatch or smartphone. It's also an excellent
standalone device with its speed and accuracy, making it an
exceptional addition for any golfer." –Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer
Sales
Elevate your game
Golfers of all skill levels will enjoy the on-course features to
help them find more precise distances and have confidence that
they're selecting the correct club.
- Key information: View distance from the pin and to the
front and back of the green to help gauge how to play a
shot2.
- PlaysLike distance: See how far each shot should
actually play with yardage adjusted for elevation changes. For an
even greater level of accuracy, pair with a compatible device to
receive PlaysLike distance that factors in air density, which
affects how far a ball will travel.
- Garmin golf ecosystem: Make the most of the Range Relay
feature by pairing the Approach Z30 with the Garmin Golf App, or
popular smartwatches including Approach S70, Approach S62, Approach
S42, fēnix® 7 series, epix™ (Gen 2) series,
MARQ® (Gen 2) collection and more.
- Tournament mode: An external indicator light lets
competitors know that the device is only providing data within the
rules.
- Magnetic mount: Conveniently store the range finder with
an included magnetic mount when riding in a golf cart. It also
comes with a handy carrying case with a carabiner, allowing it to
hang from a golf bag if walking the course or after a round.
- Find My Garmin: If the
Approach Z30 is ever misplaced, players can utilize a feature
through the Garmin Golf app to see its last known location.
Designed with all types of golf weather in mind, Approach Z30 is
built with an IPX7 water rating, allowing it to withstand light to
steady rain, wind and sunlight. The range finder also features a
replaceable battery with exceptional life, providing players with
up to a full year of use.
