Compared to the screen type chronograph that I have used in the past,the Garmin unit it fast to setup and put into use. Within a minute you can have the Garmin unit at your side and ready to collect data.
This unit is light years ahead of other chronographs I've owned. That said, the fact that it connects via bluetooth to your phone would make you think that it should do so much more. I have an old style chrono with a BT connection that has the option to announce the velocity of each shot so you know that it was recorded. My biggest dissapointment is that you can't define the series in the app, only edit the name of series after it's shot. So you wind up with a bunch of "Pistol, 124.0gr" series. It would be WAY easier if you could define series before you shoot them, adding the relevant cartridge description, firearm, and other details. This could even be done at home to better use range time. Then when you get to the range you simply pull up the series you defined, shoot the rounds and it's all accurately described. As it stands, if you don't edit the series after shooting each, or take good notes, you can easily lose track of what cartridge/firearm combos each series represents.
The ease of setup coupled with the accuracy of the device is second to none. Easily links with phone as well as watch if compatible. User interface is simple and intuitive. Cannot speak highly enough about this product. Even data export is pain free so long as a CSV meets your needs.
Great product, flawless performance, very easy to use.

I've used this about a dozen times at the range since I received it. It has functioned flawlessly and hasn't missed a single shot. Even in rain and snow in cold temperatures. It is extremely easy to use and have the data on my phone. It's very small, no cables or cords, and just sets up next to the rifle.
