Smaller, more compact, and easy to use! My lab radar is now my backup chronograph.

Great device.

simple. small. easy to use. must have.
quickly transitioned between weapons we tested without set up hassle. move the device to the weapon, not the weapon to the device.
fast reset. we shot rifles and pistols. 22LR, 5.7mm, 5.56mm, .40S&W.
New to reloading and that side of shooting, but this made pursuing the science side of it accessible.
good to know the affect of barrel length on velocity vs manufacturers box speed. Not the same. my AR10 .308 with 18in barrel had a 200fps difference to box speed.

Less expensive and more portable then the other options on the market and works even better. Must have to take your shooting to the next level.

Simple and easy to use

I have had this product for a couple of months now. Weather hasnt been conducive to the range so I was very excited to be able to try it out. Man am I impressed. This thing is super simple to setup and go. From breaking it out of the range bag to the fully setup and ready to go was 30 seconds.
A bit of advice before your first trip to the range. Make sure you download the Garmin app on your smart phone. You don't have to have it but it makes operation more convenient. The app also lets you run firmware updates.
I would definitely purchase this product again. Worth every penny and much simpler, easier to use and compact than other competitors options.

Garmin Xero C1 Chronograph
on June 7, 2024
Posted by: Glen L
The Xero is by far the easiest and most reliable chronograph on the market. It is light weight, compact and easy to set up and use. No more setting up sky screens or waiting for a cease fire in order to set up. The Xero is very intuitive to use and very forgiving as to shooting angle. Unlike other radar units out there, the Garmin rarely if ever misses a single shot. From items as slow as a thrown baseball or suppressed, subsonic rimfire rounds, up through the fastest centerfire rounds, the Xero doesn't skip a beat. The free ShotView phone APP allows for easy communication with the device and the built in BlueTooth makes any updates hassle free. The backlit screen makes for easy viewing and the simple 4 button control makes navigating the menus a snap. I've used many different chrono units over the years, including optical and radar, and none compares with the C1 for reliability, accuracy and ease of use.

The best on the market!

This Garmin Xero is a great piece of gear! It decimates all competitors. It's push button easy to use and extremely accurate in its calculations. Small, compact, easy to carry, durable... I mean, you can throw the thing and it still works. Battery life is surprisingly long. It doesn't care if it's hot, cold, or wet. It's why very soon those old clunky orange boxes at the range will go extinct; resigned to the pages of history... where they belong.
Even on crowded days at the range, my Garmin has only recorded my shots, and not those next to me. It has helped me record accurate data saving me time and money on components in load development.
Cheers to Garmin,
Well done!

An amazing tool for all shooters
on June 6, 2024

Great tool and awesome size for every shooter. I love the phone connection. This Garmin is a must for serious competition shooters, you need the bore velocity of factory and reloaded ammo. The size of this unit makes it a must have to keep in your range bag. It's easy to setup and reads every round you fire. It's beats the competition hands down and is not a hassle to setup. Thank you Garmin for making this great product.
