Garmin Xero® C1 Pro, Compact Chronograph, Simple Set Up, Precise Readings, Versatile Performance

This is a great chronograph. It captures the shots, it’s accurate, it’s compact, no need to set up a bunch of poles, magneto rods, sunshades, a bunch of wires all over the place, none of that stuff. You turn this on, synch it with the app on your phone, and it stores your shots. It’s a great, simple, easy to use chrono that you set up near the muzzle. You may have to move it around, but the instructions are simple. Get it, set it, shoot. It’s that easy! I love mine, and I’m so glad I got it. I had the Caldwell, and I always had problems with it. This thing is awesome. It makes tracking my load data so easy, and it’s simplified my process for developing my load data. They really hit a home run with this chronograph. If you’re on the fence, then go for it!You too will wait until everyone’s gone to bed and you’ll hold it and admire it, and then the wife comes downstairs and finds you caressing it and secretly writing poetry about it, buying it flowers, sharing all your secrets with it, kinda like when you got that shiny 1911. You know it’s true, real men of genius. Joking aside, it really is a great chrono. Take care everyone!!

By far the best Chronograph on the market! It checks every box for ease of use, convenience, and accuracy. Its truly above all others. I can make this statement against my experience owning just about every chronograph out there. Using them weekly checking handgun velocity to meet power factor requirements in competition. Most were dual optical sensor types that work but are inherently finicky requiring timely setup with deflectors, wires, or lighting kits depending on conditions. I also owned one other radar type prior to this one that again worked but was also finicky and took up a lot of space on the bench. The Garmin Xero solves all those issues. Its the easy button of chronographs. The very nature of radar eliminates the need for specific lighting conditions, use it on sunny days, overcast days, indoors, or at night without any special setups, just use it as is. The Garmin is triggered when it detects a moving object crossing through its emitted radar. It does not utilize an audible trigger to detect and read shots like other radars on the market. That means no errors from unintended triggering from nearby shooters firing (no compromised data from unread triggers). Its setup is as easy as it gets. When you power it up you navigate through a simple and quick start up choosing the usage, handgun, rifle or bow. It will show you a setup position diagram to place it correctly. Its small size is not cumbersome when working around it on a bench. Its not a wall tile towering around to wobble or get incidentally knocked off target. Aiming does not require an aperture sight to get it precisely aligned to your target for proper pickup of shots. Simply just square up the unit by eye in the intended shot line and it will read your shots no problem. I've used this unit regularly for a month to check all my previous data from other units. It has worked flawless and picked up every shot without a single error. The Bluetooth to send data to the free phone app works great. No connection drop issues and data uploads to your app automatically when you "end the session" every time. The internal battery lasts for a whole day of shooting. Unit will shut off the emitted radar if it doesn't detect activity after aprox. 15 minutes to prolong battery life. I can say without a doubt this is the best Chronograph on the market in every way. Yes, its expensive, but its worth every penny considering the dependability and convenience you'll get. Its a complete pleasure to use and never a point of aggravation to ruin a nice day at the range.

I have used the old style optically triggered chronographs for a very long time, I'm very pleased I decided to upgrade. This chrony couldn't be more simple. Charge it, turn it on, update software, enter preferences, get started. I took it to the range yesterday and tracked everything from my muzzleloader to my friends 6.5 PRC to another shooters 9mm pistol to my 300 WinMag. It had zero failures to read, was easy to read even in bright sunlight and with the app as soon as I ended each shooting session the data went straight to my phone. It couldn't be simpler and I couldn't be happier.

Best chrono available.Started out with Oehler 30 years ago. Shooting Chrony more recently.Bought a magic arm clamp system for perfect positioning.Will reveal much data in your reloads.

Amazing product, worth every penny! So much better than optical chronographs! Good updates. Fast data. Seamless app!Over all, HIGHLY recommended.

This is an amazing product. I tested it out the day I received it. It is SO SIMPLE to operate. Intuitive. Linked up with the phone app with no problems. Worked flawlessly with a couple of different 9mm handguns I tested it with. Showed me I was getting 1100 fps from 9mm coming out of my P320 M18 and 1000 fps coming out of my P365 Macro. I love this device.

I’ve used various Chronographs over the years, most recently the LabRadar, which is an excellent unit. However, the Garmin is more compact, doesn’t need precise alignment and has yet to miss recording a shot. Easy to use and get data from.A little pricey, but IMO, well worth it.
