However, the Pro 1M also comes with Bushnell’s new Vivid Display Technology (VDT). If that were the case, the Pro 1M would still be a great unit as was the 1600 Pro before it. Up to this point, you may be thinking that the Bushnell Pro 1M is just the Pro 1600 with a new chassis.

If you need something more accurate than that, you may want to double-check how far you are actually hitting the ball… Accuracy to a yard from 550 yards out seems to work quite well for my present golf game. Like the 1600 Pro, the optics of the Pro 1M are amazingly clear, providing no image distortion even with the 7x magnification. I did not ever feel any kind of lag with the unit and the Pinseeker™ technology just flat out works. Powers up fast then finds the target distance almost instantaneously. The Bushnell Pro 1M is a fast laser rangefinder. The Pro 1M can take care of that whole “turning off” thing for you. Get your number(s) and then put it back in the case. Want to know distances of multiple targets, just hold the button and scan around. Pinseeker™ technology allows you to pick up the flag, even when other objects are present in the targeting field. Push button to turn on, and then push again to target the flag. The Bushnell Pro 1M keeps to the standard laser operation scheme. Should you have an “accident”, the Bushnell Pro 1M does have a two-year warranty. You know those laptop computers that they use on construction sites? That is what the Pro 1M reminds me of. It seems like it could even make it through a parking lot “oops” or two. Don’t freak out if you drop it in the wet grass, it’ll survive. While it is more of a looker than the 1600 Pro, the Pro 1M retains the rugged pedigree from its predecessor. I had reservations about taking an expensive and possibly delicate piece of electronics out on the wet course. One of the things that I loved about the 1600 Pro was that it felt sturdy and very waterproof. 3-Volt Battery and Premium Carry Case are also included.7x Magnification (objects appear 7x closer).

While the 1600 Pro had a professional looking, yet somewhat utilitarian, grey, black, and silver color scheme, the Pro 1M sports a bolder black and white styling.

You will find tacky and comfortable rubber where your fingers interact with the unit, again promoting ergonomic usage. I found the Pro 1M slightly more compact feeling than the Pro 1600, fitting snuggly in my hands. Like its 1600 Pro predecessor, the exterior of the Pro 1M is multi-material in composition and is used in horizontal orientation. I am very pleased with the new, more compact design of the Bushnell Pro 1M. The Bushnell 1600 Pro had a great feel in the hands, but was overall a bit large and cumbersome on the course. When Bushnell announced the 2012 line-up, the Pro 1M definitely caught my attention.ĭoes the Pro 1M have the characteristically great Bushnell features while also addressing my issues with the 1600 Pro? Could the Bushnell Pro 1M be the laser rangefinder of the 2012 season? I was definitely a fan of the 1600 Pro, you can read the review HERE, but there were some issues with ergonomics and on course use that kept me from bagging that unit for the 2011 golf season. As you probably gathered from the line above, this laser is a replacement for the solid performing 1600 Pro model. Our first contestant is the 2012 Bushnell Pro 1M.
