I love my S6, but am now hankering for the newer S60
its not cheap but it does so much more

So what do you love about?

So what do you love about?

its easy to use, gives me everything I actually need to play golf (and more than I use actually)
clear and easy to read as well

the only reason I want to change is the S60 is I want the other non golf uses (although I was also looking at the Fenix 5 as well)

I have the Bushnell Neo XS which I've used for a number of years now. Shows distance front, middle and back, four hazards, distance walked and time taken.
If this went, I'd fancy the Bushnell Excel which has a few more whistles and bells.
It's also got excellent battery life and is easy to read.
You can also set up the watch so it starts at your tee-time.

I have the TomTom 2 watch, had not problems and find the yardages very accurate, also let's you know yardages to hazards as well.

I’ve seen some good reviews about this do you use the tracker which gives you the stats from rounds and shots ect ?

 

[stirry]

No, I just use it for the yardages. I honestly can't fault it . It is definitely best money I have spent on any golf equipment.

I use the tom tom 2 as well. Been very happy with it. I use the tracker every now and again. Not really for any game development purpose but just to look at my round, see how far a good drive went etc

Thanks for the replys there’s a couple I’m looking at .one that catches my eye is the shotscope one anyone actually using this with the club performance ect

Hope you don't mind that I have hijacked your thread Carpfather1 - I thought it would be better than starting a new one.

I am toying with the idea of maybe asking my wife to get me a golf watch for Chrimbo and I'm wondering if anyone has any good suggestions or if i really need one as I already have a cheap rangefinder which gets the distances I require the majority of the time.
I am potentially looking for something that I can use outside golf as well and maybe tracks health stats (do they exist?) etc etc.

With regards comfort - how comfortable are they while playing golf. The only reason I ask; is that I don't wear any jewellery/watches/straps when I play golf. Also, do you wear them on your right wrist as your glove may get in the way?

For the past 2 years i have used the Neo Ghost which is the hand held / pocket version of the XS watch - very accurate & easy to read / navigate.
Bushnell have just updated this range so you should be able to source a previous watch model online for a decent price - Clubhousegolf had them on offer recently.
