Our view

The Pro XM makes a strong case on the rechargeable battery alone — 50+ rounds per charge is genuinely convenient and the running cost saving over CR2 batteries adds up over time. The OLED display is a real upgrade over the LCD on the Tour V6 range. The question is whether £469 is the right price point when the Pro X3+ is £80 more and offers meaningfully better optics and a larger objective lens. For golfers who specifically want the compact form factor or the rechargeable battery, the Pro XM earns its place. For everyone else, the Tour V6 Shift at £349 or the Pro X3+ at £549 are cleaner choices at their respective price points.

Pros

  • Rechargeable battery eliminates the cost and inconvenience of CR2 replacement
  • OLED display is noticeably sharper than the LCD on Tour V6 and V6 Shift
  • Most compact Bushnell Pro series rangefinder — genuinely pocketable
  • LINK integration adds real on-course value for launch monitor owners

Cons

  • Smallest objective lens in the Bushnell range at 18mm — slightly less light gathering than larger models
  • Rechargeable battery means you need to remember to charge it — a flat battery mid-round is worse than carrying a spare CR2
  • At £469 it sits between the Tour V6 Shift and Pro X3+ — the Pro X3+ is only £80 more with better optics
