It's a little small, but still easy to see. Glad I made the purchase. I used it a little less because of a medical. Expect to use it more as we are getting ready to go to Florids for the winter.

About the only thing I like about my Garmin Approach G3 is the size. I also own a SkyCaddie and it is bigger but quite easy to read and accurate. The Garmin G3 also runs out of battery faster than my SkyCaddie. I am not happy with the Garmin G3 and plan to return the item. The Garmin G3 might work fine on a sun shiny day but it is difficult to see the stats otherwise. Not 'lighted' enough for me. My SkyCaddie is 10 yrs old but the display is bright and easy to read. But it's also about twice as big as my Garmin G3. Thank you, J. Arsola.

I had a lot of trouble with this unit. The screen was not bright enough to see plainly, and found myself squinting at it. It was difficult to find the screen I wanted, and most of the time, seemed to find it by accident, then couldn't reproduce it the next time. Finally. The yardage was inaccurate by 10 yards or more most of the time, based upon built in course yardage markers on sprinkler heads, so couldn't trust it to chose right club when I was hitting from the rough, etc. Ended up not using it at all after 4-5 holes.

The Garmin Approach 3 is a very good combination of features for the casual golfer, giving him or her the means necessary to play a confident round of golf. Simple controls and accurate measurements (with picture renditions of the golf hole) are a plus. The screen is fairly dim; but a slight tilt of the screen angle with relation to the sun fixes this minor defect reasonably well. The batteries being separate are a plus for me. I sometimes forget to charge my gps before my round, and the ability to carry extra external batteries is a lot easier to remember. Again, that's just my preference. Overall, a good and pleasant golf experience.
Nice, well made unit. Instructions show a set of batteries will last about 10 hours. So far I have not made it a regular 18 hole round before the screen dims and it says batteries are low, replace. Have used several different brands of batteries and it make no difference. Will try a rechargeable type next.
