      I have had the ion Elite for three months. It will no longer take a charge. Bushnell support has not replied to numerous emails and their help desk is impossible to contact.
      The screen is not visible when I’m wearing sunglasses.
      Measuring shot distance is cumbersome and no where near as good as my old Garmin S20 (wish I could find it).
      Why is this watch rated so highly?

      My ion elite lasted 2 years before it stoped working. It doesn’t have a battery and could not be recharged.

      The only problem with this watch is that it always has the wrong time showing. The time is always off by one hour.
