      Have both Phantom 2 and 3. Belt Clip on both stinks. Yardages on both are very good. The #2 holds a charge much better than #3( lucky to get 36 holes )…Have found touch screen good with keeping score but “wanting” if I really need to move for hazard distances and green. I will turn slope feature off as I think it is killing the charge ..and I think slope is overrated for majority of golfers. Price point is good

      I have Bushnell but would not purchase another because they are too small and difficult to read in the shade.

      I will more than likely purchase the Bushnell Phantom 2 Range Finder. I like that it is small, appears to be simple to
      use and doesn’t have a speaker to play music. My friends and I are on the course to have fun and enjoy around of golf. We can listen to music away from golf.

      I will buy it because of the slope feature.

      I have had 2 Phantoms. The first one worked intermittently. I purchased a newer model and it works great. I walk and attached the Phantom to my push cart. I like it.

      I had two Bushnell Phantom Two models over a 2 year period. The 1st one quit after about 9 months use. Bushnell support worked with me to fix it but it never operated normally again. To their credit they shipped me another new GPS. However, only 4-5 months after that, I again couldn’t get it to operate properly (the charging function failed) . Therefore I lost any confidence in their product & went back to a Garmin which had provided me with excellent performance over the years.

      Have 3rd. It is nice. Strange no one reviewing everywhere. Pro-touchscreen make easier, new features. Con- GPS shutdown force you restart (got hit 2 times on 18 holes. Restart is quick). 7/10 for score. Buy another? Nah. 2nd been super. First timer. I highly recommend it

      I had an earlier version. When it worked, it gave good numbers. I can’t buy Bushnell after my experience.

      I have a Phantom now. Once or twice a round it loses GPS and I have to restart it. ☹️

      Very interesting, feature packed, and reasonably priced GPS system that seems to be ideal for those walking the courses using a cart or trolley.
