Everything we’ve always wanted in a chronograph.
on April 17, 2024
Posted by: Scott4.4
I purchased this about two months ago. This is the 4th chronograph I’ve owned and by far the very best.
I honestly cannot think of another feature that would make this any better. Easily measures speeds from suppressed 22s all the way up to the largest caliber I use.
No more making sure it is aimed perfectly or picking up false readings from bolt manipulation when using an inertial trigger.
Do not hesitate on this one.

Chronos Just Skipped a Generation
on April 16, 2024
Posted by: DB ELR
I have used a number of chronographs over the years, ranging from optical to radar. None come remotely close to the form, fit, and function of the Garmin. Frankly, having owned a number of Garmin products, I would expect nothing less. Garmin is the epitome of a great product company.
On to some specifics:
- The thing never misses a shot
- It is tiny in comparison to everything else out there
- it is very easy to use. Worked like a champ right out of the box
- The mobile app is excellent and allows for much greater flexibility than competing products
- It is a breeze to set up. I use an arca bar that connects to the arca rails on my rifles. Pull it out of its protective case, slap it on the rifle, turn it on, and go. Note that Garmin does not warranty usage in this manner, but I have shot a few hundred rounds through my 300 PRC with no ill effects, not to mention hundreds more of 6mm and 308.

While the other manufacturers were either sitting on the laurels of their gen-1 product or building a gen-2, Garmin built a gen-3.

Greatest thing I ever bought!

Waited for almost a year for it and worth every second. No more bulky units or set up time. No more notebooks for bullet chrono logs. Fits in my pocket, sets up in seconds. Records all the data and I need and logs it in my phone. I have more data in a few months than I had in past two years because it’s so easy to use and set up. Love it. Can’t say enough about it. Battery last for a very long time as well.

It works and it is easy to set-up
on April 16, 2024
Posted by: No_Alternative_673
I own or have used most chronographs. The Xero C1 Pro is the best by far. It works, the battery lasts a long time, and it so easy to use and set-up I have been using it everytime , just in case.
Where it fails is software. The software is just a phone app., you can use to look at the data You can't print it and the data is hard export. It nowhere near what I have come to expect from Garmin Fenix, Forerunner, Edge.... Even my ancient Foretrex 201 software beat the Zero. At a minimum the Zero need to integrate into Express like other Garmin's

Easiest to Use and Safest Chronograph
on April 16, 2024
Posted by: JJGorman
I purchased the Garmin Xero C1 because I handload for a large number of cartridges, ranging from the 0.223 WSSM to the 0.577 Snider. Particularly with the large blackpowder cartridges, it is important to understand the relationship between velocity and powder charge with very low loading densities. I have owned four chronographs prior to the Xero C1 over the past 40 years, including all the commonly advertised types. With the skyscreen-type chronographs, you have to set up the skyscreens (or the whole chronograph) in front of the firing line. This can range from inconvenient to dangerous on a crowded firing line, where you need to get everyone else to cease fire for setup and takedown. With the Xero C1, you simply place the unit on its convenient tripod in the vicinity of the muzzle, and you are ready to go. The phone app makes it really easy to store your data on phone or computer, and the user interface is very intuitive and user friendly. My muzzle velocity range goes from ~ 600 ft/sec. for 0.455 Webley or 0.50 Remington Army Pistol, up to 4500 ft/sec for the 0.223 WSSM. In loading for my 0.577 Snider, I had several rounds fail to clear the muzzle because of poor ignition with very small charges of 4198, and the Xero C1 clued me in to check the bore with zero measured velocity. The small size and easy user interface mean that you can take the Xero C1 to the range every time you go, where the complication of a skyscreen chronograph is a serious deterrant. All in all, the Garmin Xero C1 is the best chronograph I have ever used, and I always bring it to the range, which means I know more about how my loads are performing.
