About this deal

Our software partner, iGolf manages the golf course database. You can submit your course update request directly from the Bushnell Golf App. The GreenView technology is a clever addition, allowing you to pinpoint exactly where the flag is on the green so that you can get a more precise distance. This could be useful on new golf courses where you aren’t as familiar with the greens, or on big greens where you really want to be specific with your yardages.

If the course information on the virtual tour is incorrect, you can submit your request to update the course from the Bushnell Golf App as follows: I found the touchscreen itself to be quite difficult to use. It was not very responsive which made it quite hard work to navigate between the screens and input scores or use the GreenView. Do not use solvents (Acetone, paint thinners, nail polish remover, etc.) as they can degrade the plastic case of the watch and damage the internal seals.

The iON does feature a touch screen layout, something which should be easier to use than the Garmin's buttons on the side. However, we found it to be a tad unresponsive, while at the same time being annoyingly sensitive to a misplaced finger.If you're able to master this temperamental aspect though, it is a very good performer for the price. Features As well as distances to the pin and hazards automatic shot detection, measurement of shots and the ability to tag clubs used means it's capable of providing loads of analysis about your game – if you put the work in to log every shot. The battery life is excellent, with three full rounds played so far during my testing without the need to recharge. Andy took up the game at the age of seven and even harboured ambitions of a career in the professional ranks for a spell. That didn’t pan out, but he still enjoys his weekend golf at Royal Troon and holds a scratch handicap.As a side note, he's made five holes-in-one and could quite possibly be Retief Goosen’s biggest fan. Pro XE: To select between yards and meters, press and hold the Mode button which is next to the Power button. Press the Power/Fire button to confirm your units preference and exit the Settings menu. The Pro Xe will return to the last unit of measure setting used each time the unit is turned on.

It's Garmin's top golf watch, and has boosted screen size to 1.3-inch, which helps take advantage of data screens such as detailed green mapping and Hazard View. Where this watch sets itself apart is the Slope functionality, which is very rare even among the best golf watches and is accessed via the golf settings. You can choose to toggle the Slope feature on/off or if you want to make sure your Ion Elite is completely legal for competition play, you can opt for the tournament mode. Once you enable these settings, a coloured ring will appear around the outside of the home screen display as a reminder. If it’s blue, that means the watch is displaying slope compensated distances, and if it’s orange it isn’t and required further calibration by taking it to a tee box or green. A white ring indicates tournament mode has been switched on. The watch itself is also lightweight and compact, a big improvement on previous Bushnell GPS watches which have been a little chunky, which means that it is unobtrusive on the course whilst playing. The Approach S42, launched in 2021, is a reworking of the Approach S40 but with some premium finishes, with rose gold, gunmetal and silver. A: For music, the Wingman’s "True Wireless Sound" (TWS) technology enables you to use two Wingman speakers paired via Bluetooth to create a wireless dualchannel system, delivering true stereo sound. Note: a single Wingman provides mono audio, internally mixing together left and right channels of the streamed audio source.Perhaps my expectations were extra-high because Bushnell are usually so reliable with the quality of their products, but at least they have gone out and tried something new with the touchscreen controls and I’m sure that it’ll be improved next time. Some golfers will love getting their hands on all this data – and you certainly pay for the privilege. As regular golfers ourselves, the Approach S62 simply offers too much for too much cash, but if you want the best there's little out there to match it. GREENVIEW WITH MOVABLE PIN PLACEMENT- Cycle through the different pin locations and select to get a more precise distance to the flag.

Overall, the ION Edge just doesn’t quite live up to the usual standards I’d expect from Bushnell with the likes of their Tour V5 Shift laser, with the brand even branching into launch monitors in the US in the near future. Getting accurate yardages is the holy grail for golfers, and it's now do-able straight from the wrist. But there's a decision to make if you're thinking of buying a golf watch: invest in a dedicated golf watch – or buy a smartwatch with GPS (and an App Store), such as the Apple Watch SE or Galaxy Watch 4.
