How it works
A 62 BPM metronome is Larghetto on two of three dials pictured in German Wikipedia's Tempo article, a Japanese one (58 to 63) and a German one (60 to 66). The third, a 19th-century French dial, reads Largo. The article calls all three bands approximate.

Start
Tap the pad, or press Space. At 62 no click is raised, so the pad claims no bar: two equal dots take turns. Tap again to stop.
Change the tempo
Tap the number under the pad to type a tempo, or press minus and plus. Two presses down reach 60 and one press up 63, the notches either side of 62 on the wind-up scale Wikipedia's Metronome article calls the most common.
Questions and answers
Is 62 BPM largo or larghetto?
Both, in Wikipedia's list of tempo markings: Largo runs 40 to 66 and Larghetto, rather slow and broad, 44 to 66. Adagio, Adagietto and Andante take in 62 too, but Lento stopped at 60. The list warns that a word alone fixes no metronome figure.
What is 62 BPM in double time and half time?
Double time is 124, which has a metronome page of its own here. Half time is 31, lower than wind-up metronomes usually go: Wikipedia's Metronome article gives their span as 40 to 208. The field under this pad accepts 31.
What are the note lengths at 62 BPM?
Dividing the beat ourselves: 483.9 ms for an eighth note, 241.9 ms for a sixteenth, 322.6 ms for one note of an eighth-note triplet and 725.8 ms for a dotted eighth. A bar of 4/4 would last 3.87 s; this page marks none.
Why can't I hear the metronome?
A phone on silent is the usual reason: look at the ring switch, then the volume, then for Bluetooth headphones that have taken the click. Sound or no sound, the pad's two dots take turns on every beat, so the 62 stays visible.
