Garmin makes an activity tracker that’s perfect for the golfers out there — and Amazon has it on sale.

The Garmin Approach X40 is currently available through Amazon for $199.99. Normally, this activity tracker goes for $249.99, so you’ll save a whole $50 on this device.

The Garmin Approach X40 is a tracker that will (hopefully) improve your golf game a bit. The band uses a GPS receiver to show distances from the green, hazards, and doglegs that line the course. This can better help you decide which club to use. There’s also auto shot, which will measure shot distance that you can analyze after you’re done playing and figure out problems with your game.
