Athlon Chronograph

[tim1457]

I just read a short article about Athlon coming out with a new chronograph around April 2025. It's called the Athlon Rangecraft Velocity Pro Chronograph. Is it just me or does it look like an exact replica of the Garmin Xero?

I just watched a shot show video and I like the simplicity of operation and data logging. The elephant(s) in the room are will it be as reliable as the Garmin and will the support match.
Gamin has had a good run holding steady at their price point. I say good for them as it has been a superior product. So, assuming Athlon matches them on reliability and support we have a price war coming. D@mn I love capitalism!

Somebody has done reverse engineering or has same supplier!

Price sure is attractive. Doug from cameras land hopefully will be able to give us some insight as well, he carries athlon products.

I'm certainly no expert, but it seems that the technology is readily available and isn't subject to a patent. Or possibly the work-around is practical. The proof is in the performance.

Looks that way

My guess it will be a solid performer. The tech isn't a secrete and Athlon has to do it cheaper to sell it. The Garmin name will carry a price.
