I've got the Bushnell Neo XS. Had it quite a few years now and still very happy with it. Light, easy to read, includes hazards and not too many gimmicks. I'd recommend it. And the battery is good for at least 36 holes.

I too have a Bushnell Neon watch. Very pleased with it, great functions and easy to use.

I have a bushnell neo ghost - I assume the functionality is similar.

It’s perfect for my needs, I don’t like wearing a watch for golf. Gives the ideal level of data, front, middle and back of the green plus distance to hazards and distance to carry.

Would check how robust the strap is. I had an earlier version that had a moulded strap which broke and couldn't be replaced. AG gave me a refund and replaced it with a Tom Tom which has replacement straps available. Functionality was similar on both to be honest.

I had one and the watch itself was good, however when the made some changes at my home course I wrote to igolf who do software support asking the m to update the mapping but nothing happened so for that reason I sold it and went back to garmin.

I think it depends on how tight you wear it. I've had mine for years with no issues but I wear it relatively loose. On the new Excel it looks like it's a standard strap fitting so easily replaceable.

Assume the deed has been done? Looks a decent bit of kit and popular in our roll ups.

Been looking at Bushnell kit for my Christmas list, anyone got any experiences of the Bushnell Phantom quite like the look of it and ease of use.
