An absolute must for long range shooters and reloaders

This is the best chronograph at its price point and an absolute must for any long range shooter or reloader. I've used other radar chronographs as well as the magnetospeed and other types of chronos. The Garmin is by far the most convenient. It's incredibly tiny and easy to set up. The magnetospeed is great but it's nice not to have to mount the chrono on the rifle. It is also fewer issues versus competing radar chronos with respect to set up and consistency. One caveat.the app is very basic but functional.
Small and simple to use. Still need to verify accuracy - but I have confidence in Garmin. Just a couple of button pushes, pull the trigger, and you have data, update your ballistic app and your ready to go.
I ve got a couple other chrongraphs but I went ahead and bought the Garmin too. It's the one I always grab when I head to the range. Small, light and has always worked.
Picked up the new Garmin Xero the other day. Tried it out this weekend. Work fantastic. No missed shots, easy to set up and get data. Very small and compact platform. Hope to get many years of use out of it. I will definitely recommend to friends!
Absolutely revolutionized chrono's for load development. Easy to use at an indoor range and far better setup than a shooting chrony, lab radar or magnetospeed. Absolute game changer. Pop out of bag and put on bench and it just never misses a shot. Can't recommend highly enough. It is just the perfect form factor. Far smaller than you even think it is. I dumped my other chronographs after my first range trip with the garmin
So good I immediately snagged a second one for my second house in AZ! I almost exclusively hand load and this makes tracking and perfecting my loads possible! I've used 3 other types of chrono and none of theme even come close to how convenient this is. If I could put a drawback in, it would be that to get the most out of it you have to use an APP. This is common with most Garmin products, as I do the same thing with my inReach. Just be advised you'll get your money's worth if you get comfy with the app!
This is easy to setup, easy to use, and reliable. I learned about this from watching another shooter using it to measure performance of his handloads. The instantaneous calculation of average velocity, extreme spread, standard deviation, and power factor saves time both on the range and afterward during detail analysis at home. It never missed a reading. The battery life was about six hours. The unit is small, but the display was easy to read.
