The Approach® S62 in short
The figures that decide whether this watch suits you, pulled out of the full specification sheet further down.
- Between 20 hours and 14 days per charge depending on the power mode — smartwatch at best, gps at worst.
- Water rated to 5 ATM.
- 14.8mm thick. Thicker than 83% of 47mm watches — it will sit noticeably high on the wrist.
- 1.3” (33.02 mm) diameter Sunlight-visible, transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP) display.
- Takes 22mm bands, so third-party straps fit without an adapter.
Does the Approach S62 fit your wrist?
Drag the slider to your wrist width and see the Approach S62 overlaid at true scale. Lug-to-lug — not case diameter — decides whether a watch overhangs your wrist.
Watch Fit Tool
For sports watches, lug-to-lug (L2L) is what matters most — it decides whether a watch overhangs your wrist. Bulky is fine; overhang is not.
Measure at the point where you wear your watch — typically just below the wrist bone.
Flat width — lay your arm on a table, palm facing up, and measure straight across the top of your wrist with a ruler. Bone to bone; do not follow the curve down the sides.
Around — wrap a tape measure snugly round the wrist. No tape? Wrap a strip of paper, mark the overlap and hold the strip against a ruler.
Width ≠ circumference. They are different numbers — around 170mm is about 64mm across — so set the toggle to whichever one you actually measured before you type it in.

Sweet Spot
47mm on a 55mm wrist
Across the wrist it works — 4.0mm spare each side — but a tall watch on this wrist. Fine over a sleeve, awkward under one.
On a 55mm wrist the sweet spot is 47–53mm lug to lug. This one is 47mm.
Measure where you wear it, just below the wrist bone. Either of these works — the tool converts between them.
- 1. Flat width — arm flat on a table, palm up. Measure straight across the top of the wrist, bone to bone, ignoring the curve down the sides.
- 2. Around — a tape, or a strip of paper marked and held against a ruler, snug the whole way round.
Leather: Attaches at the lugs, so the case back rests on your skin. Thins and softens with wear. Typical figures, not this model’s own.
