Bought this from Golftown new in Feb, and have only used it for 8 rounds since the golf season started here. Last used on Wednesday, when the battery became low during the round. Plugged it in today while I was at work and grabbed it tonight for a round. Went to turn it on at the course and it didnt turn on. Have now plugged it into multiple power sources and its not charging or turning on at all. Have tried cleaning the contacts and still no use. I've contacted Garmin about it already, but wont hear back from them until next week Im guessing. Just wondering before they contact me if anyone else has had this problem this quickly in ownership? Besides for this trouble, I have loved how it works. Now I just gotta find the receipt just in case..... -

I have a Bushnell Neo XS. It is about 10 to 20 meters out on most courses in South Africa. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

I wanted to just say how much I love my Garmin Vivo Active watch for golf. My wife bought it for me as a triathlon training tool (I did one and won't make that mistake again ;-)). It has got a great feature for golf. I love how I can always look down at my watch and know exactly how far away from the green I am. It also does a shot distance tracker, so you can hit that button and start walking to your ball and it will check exactly how far you hit it. It also has a scorecard feature that will automatically switch to score mode once you're on the green, so you can add your score in. It then syncs with your smartphone so you can save all your scores on there. It doesn't have to be connected to your phone during the round, which is nice, so it saves your phone's battery. The only downfall is that if your watch isn't at least halfway charged before 18 holes, it will likely die during the round. It is also your traditional smart watch, so it sends all texts, emails, notifications to your phone, tracks your sleep and steps, etc... You can pick one up on Amazon for about $189. It's water proof (again, it's meant for triathletes) and very hardy. I give it 5 stars and two thumbs up.
