Great compact Chronograph A+

This is a great chronograph. I've tried a number of others that are quite finicky. This was simple, intuitive,small, compact, and it lasted a long time. I've had many Garmin products over the years and they've all been quality. This Garmin unit was no different and I'm quite pleased. This chronograph was definitely the best chronograph I've used so far. A+ Garmin
The app makes it very handy to keep track of all your data, especially if you're doing load work ups or trying to reach power factor
Upgraded from the Lab radar to this little guy, it's soo easy to use compared to the LR it's not even funny...turn it on, select rifle/pistol, enter the bullet weight, and place next to the gun...it has YET to miss a shot. Exporting the data to your phone app is just as easy, and from there it can be export to a data file to your computer. No excuse to not bring it out on every shooting session.
I was somewhat reluctant to buy another Doppler radar chronograph as I have a LabRadar already, but it would not pick up shots when I was shooting with a silencer attached. So I checked several online reviews and decided to purchase the Garmin, since I was wasting money not being able to chronograph with a silencer attached. With the Garmin now I get 100%of all shots tracked with or without a silencer. It is also much smaller and easier to use than the LabRadar. Overall a very good investment and would buy again.
In the past my Caldwell chrono was always inconsistent. Was the sun just right? Did a cloud move in? No more missed shots with the Garmin. It gives consistent results every time! It's easy to transport and sets up in 30 seconds. This is very useful whether you are a beginner or expert re-loader.
I have had two other chronographs and this Garmin does a GREATEST job EXCEPT for one bullet I am shooting. For some reason when I am shooting Barnes 130 grain bullets from my Tikka t3x chambered in 300 Winchester Magnum this Garmin will not show the speed of those bullets. I am currently waiting for a return label and will be sending my Garmin Chron back for a replacement.
