Garmin S2 vs Bushnell Neo-X

Garmin S2 vs Bushnell Neo-XAs the Bushnell Neo-X has been retired, we suggest taking a look at our Garmin vs. Bushnell Golf Watch article.


In the matchup of the Garmin S2 vs Bushnell Neo X, there is really only question you need to answer. Do you want your golf watch to have a scorecard feature? The two watches have very similar features, but the one that costs more allows you to keep score on it. If not for the scorecard feature on the Garmin S2, we would recommend the Bushnell Neo-X over the Garmin S2 just about every time.

Make no mistake, the Garmin S2 is an excellent golf watch. It’s just that the Bushnell Neo-X is significantly less expensive, is smaller, has a longer battery life and the user ratings are overall higher. All in all, the Neo-X is an amazing golf GPS watch, but not having a digital scorecard is a deal-breaker for a handful of users.

PS. There’s a new kid in town, the Bushnell Neo-XS that you should consider if you’ve decided that the scorecard isn’t important!
