Swim Terminology
Length: One trip down the pool.
Interval: One or more consecutive lengths. A new interval starts
after a rest.
Stroke: A stroke is counted every time your arm wearing the
device completes a full cycle.
Swolf: Your swolf score is the sum of the time for one pool
length and the number of strokes for that length. For
example, 30 seconds plus 15 strokes equals a swolf score of
45. Swolf is a measurement of swimming efficiency and, like
golf, a lower score is better.

can't get me watch to turn on watch is approx 1 year old and stayed on charger for 2 days I have a S62

Your Garmin Approach S62 may not turn on after being on the charger for two days due to several possible issues:

1. Charging Cable or Port Issue – If the charging cable or port is damaged, bent, or not making proper contact, the watch may not charge correctly. Avoid wiggling or moving the cable while it is inserted, as this can cause further damage.

2. Battery Drain or Software Issue – A drained battery or software issue may prevent the watch from turning on. Try performing a hard reset by holding the power button until the watch shuts down, then turning it back on.

3. Dirty Charging Contacts – Dirty or obstructed charging contacts can prevent proper charging. Cleaning the charging contacts on both the watch and cable may help.

4. Defective Charging Cable – If the cable is faulty, replacing it with a new one may resolve the issue.

If none of these solutions work, contacting Garmin Support may be necessary.
