Featuring a new full-colour touchscreen display and a preloaded database of more than 38,000 courses worldwide, this watch delivers precise front, middle, and back distances at a glance. The Auto Hole Advance function automatically progresses to the next hole the moment you finish the previous one, keeping your round flowing without any manual input.

Technology in Detail
38,000+ Preloaded Courses
The Bushnell iON Elite arrives ready to play straight out of the box, with over 38,000 golf courses from more than 30 countries preloaded in its internal memory. Front, middle, and back distances are displayed clearly on the colour touchscreen so you always know exactly how far you have to the green. Course data is kept current via the Bushnell Golf app, ensuring you have the latest layouts whenever you tee it up. Whether you play your home course every week or travel to new venues, the iON Elite has you covered without any additional downloads or fees on the watch itself.
Auto Hole Advance
Auto Hole Advance is one of the most convenient features on the iON Elite, automatically detecting when you have completed a hole and advancing the display to the next one without any manual interaction. This keeps your pace of play smooth and lets you focus entirely on your next shot rather than fiddling with your wrist. The watch uses GPS positioning to recognise your movement patterns and triggers the transition at the right moment, making the experience feel completely seamless. It is especially useful during busy rounds where every second counts.
Full-Colour Touchscreen Display
The iON Elite features a brand-new full-colour 1.28-inch (35.5 mm) touchscreen that makes navigating menus and reading distances quick and intuitive. Large, bold numerals are easy to read even in bright sunlight, reducing the need to squint or shield the screen on the course. The touch interface lets you swipe between hole views, shot planning, and green view with a simple gesture, putting all the information you need right at your fingertips. The display measures 27.4 x 27.4 mm and is housed in a compact watch body measuring 46 x 53 x 15 mm.
HoleView & Shot Planning
The HoleView screen gives you a bird's-eye view of each hole's layout so you can plan your strategy before you swing. Activate the Shot Planning mode and you can tap any point on the hole graphic to retrieve an accurate GPS distance to that exact spot, helping you choose the right club for layups, carries over hazards, or approaches into a tucked pin. This level of on-course intelligence was previously only available on larger GPS units, and the iON Elite brings it to your wrist in a lightweight, elegant package. Combined with Dynamic Green Mapping, you get front and back distances adjusted to your actual playing line.
Green View with Moveable Pin Position
Green View displays the shape and contours of the green on your watch face, and the moveable pin feature lets you adjust the flag position to match the actual pin placement that day. This gives you a more precise carry distance to the hole rather than just a generic centre-of-green figure, which can make a real difference when the flag is front-left or back-right on a large putting surface. The result is more confident club selection on approach shots and ultimately more greens hit in regulation. Dynamic Green Mapping also ensures that the front and back yardages shown are calculated based on your current angle of approach.
Bushnell Golf Mobile App & Slope
The Bushnell Golf app, available free for Android and iOS, unlocks additional features and keeps your iON Elite performing at its best. Through the app you can access the patented Slope technology — the first of its kind available on a Bushnell watch — which calculates adjusted distances that account for elevation changes on the course. The app also provides easy firmware and course map updates, shot tracking data, score logging, and access to Bushnell's full library of GPS-enabled content. Pairing is straightforward via Bluetooth, and once connected the app enriches every aspect of how you use the watch, turning it into a comprehensive on-course performance tool.
12+ Hour Battery Life
The Bushnell iON Elite is engineered to last well beyond a single round of golf, delivering more than 12 hours of continuous GPS use on one charge — enough for two or more full rounds without reaching for the charging cable. The custom 4-pin magnetic USB charging cable makes topping up quick and hassle-free, and a full charge is achieved in under 3 hours. This extended battery performance means you can use all the advanced features — touchscreen, GPS, HoleView, Green View — without worrying about the watch dying before the 18th hole. The watch automatically manages power intelligently to maximise life during a round.
IP67 Water Resistance & Comfortable Fit
With an IP67 water-resistance rating, the iON Elite can handle rain showers, damp grass, and accidental splashes without missing a beat, making it a reliable companion in any weather conditions you might encounter on the course. The comfortable 22 mm reversible silicone strap is 211 mm long (86 + 125 mm) and features a two-tone colour design — simply flip it over for a different look. At just 38 g total weight the watch sits lightly on the wrist and never feels intrusive during a swing. The refined, sporty aesthetic also makes it a stylish everyday watch that you can wear long after the round is finished.
