Holy cow. This thing is sweet. Been loading for a long time with an optical and didnt want to spend the coin on a lab radar given the quirks and the magneto on the barrel was a problem for me. This thing is worth every penny. Garmin hit a home run.

Yep love mine too, I am very happy I waited about 5 years for the Garmin. I was always looking for alternatives to the Labradar as I had heard their customer service was not real responsive.

Mine will be delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to setup and take to range.

Please make sure you fully charge it first and update the firmware!
How hard is it to update firmware?
I'm a person that prefers simple things when it comes to set up and use. The Xero fits this preference perfectly. Granted, I have not used it very long, but it worked perfectly from the start. I've tried most of Chrono equipment out there, and this is by far the best I used. This thing is tiny, but just works.
I know I need to get one but the day after I get one they will go on sale for 1/2 price.That how my luck runs.

Extremely easy. Pair to the Garmin app, and its automatic.
I doubt you will see it 1/2 price anytime soon. Maybe a sale once the demand catches up. I just wasn't willing to wait. I'd rather have it now. This time of year is reloading season lol.
I know.Kind of waiting for the Calwell Chirp Crono to come out.They say second quarter of 2024.I guess June or July will be a release date.
I can wait. Until I hear actual reviews I won't get too excited.

You can always wait for the next thing... You will be waiting forever. Their comes a time to finally just buy and enjoy.
Garmin is crushing everything outdoor electronics right now. I have had my Xero for I guess 5 weeks now and could not be more impressed. This thing has not missed a single shot yet.

Yes they did a great job. It updated immediately when turning on. Simple and compact. I love my Labradar but the compactness of the Garmin is very nice
