About this deal

Bushnell are known across the golfing world for being one of the biggest names on the market when it comes to Distance Measuring Devices (DMDs), so every time they announce a new product we know it’s going to be worth a closer look.

A golf watch can provide crucial yardages to the pin, and also hazards in the course. This makes club selection easier, and can translate to shots saved on the course. The watch is relatively straightforward to set up by pairing with the companion Bushnell Golf app, which also doubles as a GPS app and can be used to manage settings on the watch including date and time and course updates.Sporting a super thin profile, comfortable perforated strap, ultra-long battery life and up to 6 hazard distances per hole. Preloaded with over 38,000 courses in more than 30 countries and no membership fees ever - the new iON Edge GPS watch is set to change and improve the way you assess distances, ultimately improving your performance. NEW BUSHNELL GOLF MOBILE APP - The Bushnell Golf app provides additional product benefits, information and data to further help improve your game, as well as access to easily be able to update your GPS device (for 2021 GPS products and beyond). 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.

The new Bushnell ION EDGE combines functional simplicity with cutting-edge technology in an easy-to-use design with over 38,000 preloaded courses worldwide. The Garmin has a Big-Numbers mode which, coupled with the sunlight-readable dial, is great for those whose eyesight maybe isn’t what it once was. Although the Bushnell's battery life is only a respectable 15 hours versus the S12's 30 hours and comes pre-loaded with 38,000 courses versus the Garmin's 42,000. But we liked having the ability to move the pin position on the green for a more precise distance and you have the ability to input scores and some basic stats, such as fairways and greens hit. Buying the ION Edge also gives you access to Bushnell's excellent GPS app, which provides 3D hole flyovers and the ability to add in stats about your play, enhancing the value for money.While previous Bushnell devices haven't been cheap enough to justify over buying Garmin, the price tag here does make it an attractive proposition for those looking for a dedicated golf watch, and spending as little as possible. Garmin Approach S62 Bushnell on the other hand doesn't give you this option, with the watch specifically designed for golf and golf only. Despite it telling the time, the styling is such that you probably wouldn't want to wear it off the course whereas the Garmin gives you more reasons to, including the more modern screen and overall look and feel. Value To disconnect the TWS connection, press both Plus and Minus buttons on one of the speakers simultaneously until the LED Indicator ring rapidly blinks orange to indicate the TWS connection has been disconnected. Once paired, the Main (L) speaker LED Indicator Ring slowly flashes orange Note: In TWS connection, only the Main (L) speaker supports Speakerphone.

The Bushnell was also easy to set up. There is one button on the side, which we correctly figured would boot it up. From there, one swipe to the right gives you the option to begin your satellite search for the correct course. For some, this is worth the extra money – and makes the golf watch even more useful. For our money, we don't like fiddling with tech while we're playing golf. It's personal choice. Best golf watchesION EDGE also features auto hole advance and auto course recognition to get you out on the course playing in seconds, while added extras including greenview with moveable pin positions, dynamic green mapping and over 15+ hours of battery life complete this excellent value for money device. While Tag Heuer launched two sizes of its Calibre E4, the Golf Edition will only be available in the larger 45mm case. Once iGolf responds confirm the course update, make sure your device has the current course information by updating via the Bushnell Golf App. You must have your device connected to your phone via Bluetooth for the update to work. Arguably, the most important aspect of any golf watch is how easy it is to use. There's nothing more frustrating than waiting on the first hole and not being able to link up your watch to the correct course and tee. Thankfully, the Garmin S12 doesn't have such issues, with the watch ranked amongst one of the best Garmin watches on the market. At the start, we didn't have problems locating the course on arrival, with the correct yardages appearing on the screen within a minute or two of beginning the setup.

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. Wet cloth in cleaning solution; avoid excessive amounts of solution. Cleaning solution should not be dripping from cloth. These may not rank amongst the best golf shot apps and devices, but they will give you the tools you need to improve your scores through better strategy decisions and club selections. Versatility A: The LRF can be used to measure distance in yards or meters. The unit measure indicators are located in the lower right portion of the LCD. To select between yards and meters on your...

The ION Edge is a straightforward, easy to digest watch which does everything you’d need it to do out on the golf course as well as a couple of handy extra features such as the pin mapping and scorecard.
