The Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph is impressive to me because it is a chronograph that actually looks like it was spawned from 21st-century technology. Small, light, compact, intelligent, and not overly expensive. A lot of the traits that I would hope for in a great chronograph.

wow. gamechanger.
And just like that LabRadar and Magnetospeed became obsolete overnight. Can't say I feel sorry for LabRadar, their customers have screaming for improvements and software updates since the unit was released and for almost 10 years basically no improvements were made.
There are a ton of guys using these now and I've heard almost no complaints on other forums. If they continue to perform as they have so far they are going to be crazy popular and we're going to see some very very cheap used magnetospeed and LR devices floating around.......we already are. Both Magnetospeed and LR are fussy devices that have issues working with a variety of setups and it seems like Garmin has addressed that. Universally guys are coming back from using them saying they just work, no hassles.
Not that it's perfect. It's display backlight is very dim, ridiculously so in fact. Thankfully the monochrome display is very good outdoors without backlight. It's also simple and easy to use, but lacks a lot of features. For example you can't stop a shot string and restart it later. Say if you wanted to shoot 2 guns at once you can't stop shot string for gun A, switch to shot string for gun B, and back to Gun A. This is something guys doing testing have wanted out of a chrono for a long time. Right now there's no integration with other Garmin product, no ballistic interfacing etc. I'd have really liked to have seen them made the unit slight larger, and also double as a HUD similar to the Kestrel HUD being able to feed the shooter ballistic compensation info. Especially since so many guys have already worked up weapons mounts for these.
Also on that note, it appears that Garmin never tested or expected guys to want to weapons mount these and as such while it sounds like testers have been using these weapon mounted with no issues Garmin makes a point that using the device in a manner not tested/designed will not be covered by warranty. So if you weapon mount it and it fails, Garmin should they learn of that may not cover it.
