<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By Pete Pappas </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/thegreekgrind/">@TheGreekGrind</a> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A better game is “all in the wrist” thanks to Bushnell’s new
NEO+ GPS Golf Watch.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The NEO+ Golf Watch is Bushnell’s latest addition to their line
of electronic measuring devices and boasts GPS distance calculation that’s
accurate, simple, and fun to use.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the makers of the No. 1 laser rangefinder on the PGA
Tour set out expand their “GPS Made Simple” product line the challenge was to develop
an instrument that addressed issues inherent in performance, simplicity, and
price.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And after speaking with representatives of the company I was
left with the impression they’re not only extremely excited about the new NEO+
GPS Watch but also genuinely interested in making the game more enjoyable and
beneficial for golfers everywhere.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All GPS Are Not Created
Equal</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bushnell worked vigorously with its GPS partners to address problematic
issues like “GPS drift” and “magnetic declination” and produced intricate
algorithms to address difficult accuracy issues.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The results were impressive.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tests against their own laser products found the NEO+ GPS Watch
to be extremely accurate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While competitor
GPS products were as much as eight to ten yards different.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It’s how the components inside come together along with the
ability to write software to the chipset that makes the difference,” explained Bushnell
Product Director Terry Mears.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whether you’re at the tee, on approach, in a bunker, or even
hitting a blind shot, the NEO+ GPS Watch gives you accurate and reliable front
of green, center of green, and back of green distances wherever you are on the
course.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It shows your current hole and par information, automatically
advances you to the next shot and next hole as you play, and even lets you
track shot distances with the shot button.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hit your driver a Bubba-mile?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Does your 3 iron go 274 yards like Dustin
Johnson?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now you can prove it with a flick
of your wrist.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Distance Made Simple</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The “10 Laws of Performance” are Bushnell’s internal
communications about who they are as a company.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And Performance Law No. six states “Simplicity is the Hallmark of
Genius.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To the extent that’s true the NEO+ GPS Watch might be the Albert
Einstein or Leonardo Da Vinci of GPS watches.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Numbers are crisp, large, and easy to read.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Processing speeds are rapid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Preloaded with more courses than any GPS
watch on the market (more than 25,000) there are no subscriptions or fees.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And button pressing is at a minimum.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“With Auto Course Recognition and Auto Hole Advance features
golfers may not touch a button again after the first tee, unless they want to
check shot distance (with one button press),” Mears said.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I<span style="color: black;">f you don’t like searching for sprinkler heads and find
laser pick and fire too time consuming then the easy to use NEO+ GPS Watch is
probably more your style (and speed).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“We make operation easy, intuitive, and simple,” Mears
said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“The NEO+ GPS Watch gives you all
the features you need and none you don’t.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And that just might be genius enough to reduce your scores
and handicap as well.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Aggravated </b><st1:place><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Battery</b></st1:place></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><st1:place></st1:place></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><st1:place>Battery</st1:place> power is drained rapidly in any
GPS unit once it’s turned on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However Bushnell
found a proven solution to power dissipation and it won’t drain your wallet.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Our goal of providing a cost effective product that
outperformed others was achieved with the new NEO+ GPS Golf Watch,” Mears said.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">A<span style="color: black;">ctual tests show the NEO+ GPS Watch battery life lasts for
an impressive three full rounds (or 14 hours) of golf.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><st1:place>Battery</st1:place> life of the
nearest competitor manages just six to eight hours by comparison.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“[And] in watch mode one competitor lasted 20 days before it
needed to be charged,” Mears said.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“With
ours you get well over one year before recharging is required.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even after battery life is depleted in GPS mode you still
get over 90 days in watch mode (which also includes odometer, alarm, and timer
features).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Charged up battery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Charged up golfer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NEO+ GPS Watch
love.</span><br />
