The Garmin Approach S62 is a sleek premium GPS golf watch that integrates critical course information and full-color mapping, right on the wrist.
“The Approach S62 gives golfers access to essential golfing information like no other watch on the market with a style that goes beyond the clubhouse. Thanks to our new built-in Virtual Caddie and detailed course maps, the Approach S62 has the power to instantly transform into a caddie that knows you and 41,000 courses worldwide,” said Scoppen Lin, Director, Garmin Asia.
With its sunlight-readable 1.3-inch color touchscreen – 17 percent larger than the previous model – and scratch-resistant ceramic bezel, the Approach S62 offers an easier-to-read, larger display.
Boasting an array of features to help enhance a golfer’s game, the Approach S62 offers options such as PlaysLike Distance, Hazard View and introduces a Virtual Caddie to analyse critical factors such as wind speed, course layout, and a golfer’s past swings to select the best suited club for each shot.
Thanks to Garmin’s Quickfit bands, the look of the watch can easily be altered and remain colorful in style with leather, silicone, nylon, or titanium options.
The Connect IQ Store is also available for golfers to download custom watch faces, apps, and widgets.
