Functions for Golf games

The Approach S62 shines in its precise ability to help strategize and fine tune a golfer’s game.

This watch also comes preloaded with more than 41,000 full-color CourseView maps of golf courses from around the world.

The watch also includes smart notifications to receive e-mails, texts, and alerts right on the display of the watch, activity tracking features and preloaded activity profiles for running, cycling, and even swimming.

Contactless Payments
