Pretty cool piece of kit! Would be interested to see how accurate it is compared to traditional chrono’s

Early days. The last device, when released, was claimed to be a Labradar killer, and it now has a new name is on verion 4.
Seems to be a mass selling of 2nd Hand Labradars now that this has hit the market. I’m looking forward to replacing my LabRadar with one of these

Fx would be my choice but super expensive. Been on the market a while and there doesn't seem to be any adverse reviews.

The Garmin phone app looks quite nice. Far better than the POS Labradar one.
I’m really hoping the technology is there for this to be the labradar replacement but only time will tell in the next few months. Just seems so much more practical in every aspect and user friendlyQuote:

@30.06king have seen it for US$999. Interestingly Opticsplanet say it is discontinued. I find that hard to believe but Opticplanet is a bit of a wonky company.
Bullet Seeker runs just north of a grand US.
Availabilty will be the issue with both the Fx and the Garmin.
I like the Fx as a company as they have been making chronographs for a while now.

Available in USA either direct or from dealers. Also, so far online positive reviews so far of the Garmin.
As you say demand fir both currently is high but apparently Garmin at least is accelerating production to keep pace.
To me Garmin pricing looks attractive for the inbuilt features and compact unit size.
Thinking about it .....
Going to US next week but not sure how to find it. Online shipment available 5 - 8 weeks and I won't stay there that long. I reckon this is not a restricted item?
Yeah not a restricted item. Bring one back for me!Quote:

It will be launched in Australia and New Zealand soon. Local pricing will be on par with the USD conversion rate. Support your local dealer.Quote:

Its like bringing in a non-compliant UHF radio. They may take it off you at the border.
Stock will be a little patchy while production ramps up. But should be solid before too long.
Saw a back to back of one with a labradar. Was inside 5-10fps measured every shot. Seems like it's a much better trigger/tracking system alsoQuote:

Have to give kudos to Garmin for, right off the bat, producing a unit that addresses pretty much all the issues that have plagued this tech for so long and not to mention the inability of other manufacturers to address them.
What’s not to like about them, so going on my Wishlist for next year. Hopefully costs come down to under a grand but the exchange rate alone is killing us. T’is what it is, living at the ass end of the world unfortunately.
Saw it today at the sika show. Super small and light
Is it being sold there mate?
Yes I have back ordered some for myself & customers $1200 RRP should be available 3-5 weeks or soQuote:

Big fan of the Garmin gear. I finally had a play with the 7x watch. They had it for sale new for $1600 at the Auckland Marathon.
