    Cool New chrono being released...Watching with interest

    Just came across this from shotshow 2025 Athlon are releasing a chrono in April this year.
    Looks to be aimed at the Garmin market, can't wait to see if it pans out.
    I have long been a fan of Athlon products, great value for money

    Be very interesting to see how they compare with the Garmin...especially at half the price of the Garmin

    That’s a big F you to Garmin haha. Pretty much look exactly the same. Savages.
    Will be interesting to see the price of Garmin units if the athlon turns out to be as consistent.

    Great to have another option seemingly competitively priced entering the market. From the video seems to have everything shooters need plus an improvement or two over the Garmin.
    If it works as well, or better, than the Garmin it might be worth getting one simply as a back up unit.

    I was hanging out for this thinking it might be closer to $600 (350-400USD). A shame when you can get the Garmin discounted for $899.

    Yes. They will freight to NZ @Ryan_Songhurst

    Looks a good price depending on freight cost.

    Freight is killing us. Not to mention the value of our dollar.
