- Does the iON Elite need a phone on the course?
- No. It stores up to 10 rounds offline, so you can get distances without carrying a phone. Bluetooth is used to sync round data to the Bushnell app afterward.
- Is it a full smartwatch?
- No. It is a golf GPS watch only. It does not count steps, track heart rate or show phone notifications.
- Can I wear it in the rain?
- Yes. It is rated IP67, so rain and sweat are fine. Do not swim or shower with it.
- How does it compare with a rangefinder?
- It gives front, center and back green distances and hazard layups instantly, without aiming. A rangefinder gives a precise pin number but takes more time and a steady hand.
- What is in the box?
- The watch, a magnetic 4-pin USB charging cable and documentation. A screen protector is not included but the screen accepts one.
- Does it work for any golf course?
- It uses preloaded course maps and GPS, so it works on mapped courses without a phone signal. Check the Bushnell app for your course before you play.
