Bought this to replace a second Bushnell Neo XS that broke...
In the past I have owned two Bushnell Neo XS golf watches, both of which had the plastic crystal covering the display fall out after about 1 year and was lost somewhere on the course... After the second one had this happen I needed to purchase another golf watch and I decided to switch to this Garmin S10 as the quality of the Bushnell was definitely a problem... I'm glad I did... This watch is simple to use, very slim and lightweight and it's rectangular shape is much less intrusive especially since I wear it on my glove hand... It seems to me that it is better built than the Bushnell's I have owned... I do not need a fancy watch, just one that gives the proper distances to both the green and hazards, and, has excellent battery life... I don't use the scoring option and I don't use the app to upload my scores to the Garmin website... This watch gives accurate distances and advances to the next hole flawlessly... One thing I noticed over the Bushnell is when I forget to start the watch until after I finish the first hole... The Bushnell forced me to advance the watch to the proper hole, but this Garmin immediately recognized what hole I was on and needed no adjustment... This leads me to believe that it's GPS system is more accurate than other watches... The only drawback is that the Garmin takes a little more time for it's GPS to come up and recognize the course I am at... However, it is not much more time, and, I just set it to start the round a little earlier than I did with my Bushnell... If you want a golf watch that is accurate, lightweight, very unobtrusive on your wrist , and, you don't need all the fancy bells and whistles, this is the watch for you...
