Garmin’s new premium Approach S62 is a sleek GPS golf watch that integrates critical course information and full-colour mapping.
With its sunlight readable 1.3-inch colour touchscreen – 17% larger than the previous model – and scratch resistant ceramic bezel, the Approach S62 delivers an easier-to-read display in an elegant design that transcends the clubhouse. It boasts an array of features to help enhance a golfer’s game, including options such as PlaysLike Distance, Hazard View and Virtual Caddie.
When golfers are stranded with a blind shot and unable to see the pin, the Approach S62’s PinPointer option shows players the exact direction to the pin. The PlaysLike Distance option adjusts yardages to compensate for uphill and downhill shots, while Hazard View allows golfers to quickly scroll through each hazard to acquire critical distance information.
The Green View feature displays each green’s true shape and allows golfers to drag-and-drop the pin for better yardage accuracy. Additionally, an Autoshot round analyser measures and records detected shot distances.
Golfers can gain even more insight into their games by pairing the Approach S62 with the Garmin Golf app for access to the new performance widget. Stats are calculated and then sent to the watch so users can review handicap index, fairway and approach shot hit/miss percentage, and greens in regulation percentage. The app even provides analysis for strokes gained and allows users to participate in leaderboards and tournaments with other users around the world.
Beyond the golf course, the Approach S62 boasts enhanced wrist-based heart rate monitoring and a Pulse Ox sensor to estimate blood oxygen saturation levels. The watch also includes smart notifications to receive e-mails, texts and alerts, activity tracking features and preloaded activity profiles for running, cycling and swimming.
The Approach S62’s longer battery life lasts up to 20 hours in GPS mode and up to 14 days in smartwatch mode. Garmin’s Quickfit bands allow the look of the watch to easily be altered with leather, silicone, nylon or titanium options.
The Connect IQ Store is also available to download custom watch faces, apps and widgets.
