The main differences between the Garmin S20, Bushnell Neo Ion 2 and Excel are that only the S20 has automatic shot tracking, manual club tracking, overhead views of each hole, better hazard information, sleep monitoring and scorecard while the only advantage of the Bushnell Neo Ion is a longer battery life and lower price tag. They don’t have some of the advanced features that the Garmin S6 and S60 watches or the Garmin G80, G8 and G30 handheld units have but it will give you accurate distances to the greens and hazards.

Under the vast majority of circumstances, the batteries used in our GPS Watches will provide years of trouble free use, and will not need to be changed. The warranty on the GPS watch will be void if the consumer tries to change the battery. If you feel that your battery is going bad, please contact Bushnell Customer Service at [email protected]. - A:
There are two main things that cause the Neo + watch not to charge:
Because the charging contacts on the Neo + watch are against your skin when it is worn, the contacts can get dirty and simply need to be cleaned. This can be done by spraying ammonia based glass cleaner (such as Windex) on to the contacts and then scrubbing with a nylon brush (such as a toothbrush.) Wipe the contacts with a paper towel and the watch should charge.
The Neo + watch can’t charge while it shows the battery meter, so it needs to be showing its main watch face before it is hooked up to charge. Simply press the ‘Menu’ button repeatedly until the time and date show on the watch, and then reconnect the charging cable. - A:
