Garmin vs Bushnell Golf Watch 2022

Garmin vs Bushnell Golf WatchOnce upon a time, the Garmin vs Bushnell Golf Watch conversation was worth having. Although Bushnell does still offer a golf watch, the ratings are lousy and we just cannot recommend it.

Garmin on the other hand, has continued to dominate the golf watch category. While most of their watches are high-end and feature-rich, they also offer a more affordable option in the Garmin Approach S12, which is no slouch when it comes to features.

Keep in mind that Garmin has been doing sports watches for a very long time and it’s no surprise how well they balance features with ease of use, not to mention they have some of the best-looking golf watches we’ve seen.

Most if not all of the currently available Garmin golf watches have a scorecard and stats feature. They have made recording your putts, fairways hit, and greens in regulation, an easy thing to do. Even better, you can access analysis of this information on your computer or an app on your smartphone. If you are looking to find the weak spots in your game, this can be very helpful.

Several of the Garmin golf watches allow touch targeting of the pin location and some even have touch targeting on fairway views. There are even Garmin golf watches that measure distance and record shot locations for post-round analysis.

Beyond the golf features, many of these watches are adding smartwatch features. Smartphone notifications, fitness tracking, sleep tracking, and more have been smoothly integrated into Garmin’s line of golf watches. Garmin even has a few multi-sport watches that include golf, which is a real bonus for multi-sport athletes.

There’s not really enough praise to heap on Garmin for the variety of choices and outstanding implementation. Check out our complete list of Garmin Golf Watch summaries .
