Sweet Spot4mm clearance. Perfect for sports watches - bold presence, no overhang.

The Garmin Approach® S62 and Garmin tactix® 8 – 47 mm, AMOLED share a near-identical 47mm case, so wrist presence comes down to thickness, lug-to-lug and weight.

The Garmin tactix® 8 – 47 mm, AMOLED is the slimmer of the two (13.8mm vs 14.8mm), so it slides under a cuff more easily.

On the wrist the Garmin Approach® S62 feels lighter (61g vs 73g, case only).
