Detailed review
The Approach G80 remains unusual because it combines a large handheld GPS display with radar-based practice modes. That makes it more versatile than a simple handheld, but also bulkier and less current than newer dedicated devices.
On the course, the screen is the reason to choose it: hazards and hole shapes are easier to inspect than on a small watch. On the range, the warm-up and tempo features add useful feedback without replacing a modern launch monitor.
Availability should drive the final decision. Choose it only when you specifically want one handheld for course mapping and basic practice; otherwise compare a newer GPS device and a separate launch monitor.
