It also comes pre-loaded with more than 35,000 courses in over 30 countries, with the device instantly recognising the venue you're at when it's turned on, ensuring it's ready to use straight out of the box.

The new Busnell neo iON GPS watch also boasts a three-round battery life between charges, building upon its predecessor, the Bushnell neo XS.

In addition, the neo iON further builds upon the successful features of the neo XS model by featuring a new integrated step counter that allows golfers to monitor their distance travelled, speed and total activity time throughout their round and wider daily life.

As you would expect, you'll also find front/centre/back distances, up to four hazard lay-up distances per hole, a shot distance calculator to measure you big drives, and a new charging clip.

Scott Peterson, senior product manager at Bushnell, explained to GM: “With the popularity of wearable technology on the golf course, we created the fashion-forward, user-friendly neo iON with improved technologies, providing golfers the ability to enhance their game at an affordable price.”
