Garmin Approach® S62

Add a caddie to your wrist

The GPS experts at Garmin have done it again — the Approach S62 golf watch combines style, accuracy, course-ready performance, and now key fitness metrics into one elegant device that goes with you anywhere. With true-to-life course shapes and layouts, you'll be able to map pin locations with your fingertip and easily track your ball's location. Want to improve your game? It tracks your swing and offers tools for improvement, even taking into consideration the wind and your past swings when choosing your clubs. And you'll enjoy access to over 41,000 preloaded international courses, available on a generous and glove-friendly color touchscreen.

A bigger, bolder display

Garmin made this Approach even easier to use than its predecessors, with a fantastic 1.3" display featuring clear, bright colors. It also works with Garmin's QuickFit bands in silicone, leather, or metal so you can swap out styles and colors to suit your mood without tools. Its waterproof construction lets you enjoy it in rough weather and around pools, lakes, and rivers. You get an odometer to track how far you've walked and a round timer to monitor how long it takes to get through 18 holes. Got an early tee time? Put the watch's alarm clock feature to work for you.

Virtual Caddie helps choose your clubs and shots

Garmin's new Virtual Caddie feature puts expert advice at hand. It suggests your clubs based on typical distances you hit with that club, while also factoring in wind speed and direction. On top of that, it shows you on the map where you should aim your next shot for the best results based on your previous play. You could pay someone to do that, but wouldn't you rather spend the dough on another pair of plaid pants?

Works with Garmin Connect IQ for a wide range of apps

The Approach S62's compatible with Garmin's Connect IQ platform, which allows you to use a plethora of cool smartphone apps through the watch's face. Whether you want to hail a car through a rideshare service or engage with smart appliances at your house, your Approach will feel like an extension of your smartphone, while your phone stays safe in your pocket or bag as you're golfing. You can also use apps and widgets to customize your watch's display to show specific fitness information or a cool new face which reflects your personal style.

The Garmin Golf app keeps you and your buds in touch

Garmin's new golf app lets you compete against your friends on different courses, with weekly leaderboards show rankings, scores, handicaps, and more. You can create tournaments, submit your own scores and stats to the leaderboard, and get live scoring in real time while using the app on the course.

Track your activity and get key health stats

The Approach S62 doesn't just help you on the course — it also includes activity profiles for running, swimming, cycling, and more exercises. And it can act as a fitness tracker, counting your calories, measuring your steps, and reminding you to move if you've been sitting still for too long. Its built-in wrist heartrate monitor lets you keep tabs on your cardiac health during your workouts. And the Pulse Ox feature measures your blood oxygen saturation level so you can track it during workouts or while you've slept to see if there are any major changes to your respiratory or cardiac systems.

Enough juice for several rounds of double bogeys

The watch's built-in GPS receiver finds you automatically and stays dialed in to your location, even while you're under trees and heavy cover. When you're having a long day on the course, you don't want your device to call it quits before you do. The Approach S62's built-in rechargeable battery offers up to 20 hours of life (almost a full day!) in GPS mode, or 14 days (two whole weeks!) as a regular watch.

Dial in your swing

You can make the Approach S62 your secret weapon on the links by utilizing its built-in swing assistants:

Dedicated Courseview button

Don't waste time scrolling through the menus — just tap the Approach S62's dedicated Courseview button, and you're right there. You'll see the true shape and layout of the entire hole from wherever you are on the course, including tee box, fairway, and green.

Green View and new Hazard View displays

The Approach S62 introduces Hazard View, which lets you quickly scroll through each hazard on the map and provides important distance info, so you'll know how to avoid potential problems in a jiffy. Garmin's highly regarded Green View display is also available with a finger tap from the Courseview screen, giving you an accurate view of the green — even if you're behind it or have an obstructed view. You can even touch and drag the pin to the day's location to make things easier on those difficult par 3 holes.

Verify your distance

The Approach S62 gives you distances to the front, back, and center of the green, plus distances to doglegs and layups. You can even add and save customizable yardages for bunkers and hazards from anywhere on the course. One glance at your wrist offers you a wealth of information with clear, easy-to-read numbering.

Touch-targeting lets you quickly determine how far it is to any point on the green. Getting ready for a layup? You'll see distance arcs on the S62's screen at 50-yard increments to help you decide your next shot. Green View lets you target the pin more accurately and gives you exact measurements when you're ready to putt.

Take the guesswork out of tough situations with PinPointer

The Approach S62's PinPointer comes in especially handy when you're way off course. It lets you know exactly where the pin is, even when you can't see it. You can tee off with confidence, even when deep in a trap or the woods.

Manage your stats and scoring

Want to analyze your game for future improvement? The Approach S62 lets you track your putts per round, greens and fairways hit, and average distance of your strokes. It also offers digital scorecard options for individual players, including Stroke Play and Stableford. It even gives you options for handicap scoring for individual holes, player's local handicap, or index/slope methods. You can save, review, and print scorecards from your computer. Use the Measure Shot feature to tell you exactly how far the ball went next time you hit a really big one.

Know when you've got incoming messages

If you're worried about missing urgent texts, calls, alerts, and emails on the course, Garmin's got you covered. You can pair the Approach S62 with your compatible Android™ smartphone or iPhone® and receive notifications directly on the watch's face. Leave your phone in your bag and concentrate on the task at hand.
