New Chronograph Out

[Brathany]

So I got a reply. This is my answer to the reply. Reply below this. Original request for warranty service below their reply...

I don't mean to sound rude but you're way off base. I was using the Xero. I started to create a new session and it turned off. I turned it on, it came on for 1 second or less, then turned off. I tried to turn it on 6 or 7 times and I got the same result. I thought the charge might be low so I plugged it in. It turned on and it started charging. When it reached full charge I pressed the power button. Nothing happened. It stayed on. I couldn't turn it off. The power button NO LONGER WORKS. I can't change menus. I can't reset. I can't download. I can't start a new session. I can't look at past sessions. That is why it needs to come back for repair. There are a lot of people on a couple of shooting forums that want to know how Garmin handles warranty work. To be fair I probably didn't supply enough info but this reads like "Hey, I smashed my car into a wall and now my engine is smoking and it won't start. Tech support: Oh… have you tried the headlights and windshield wipers?"

It's broken. The primary function button doesn't do anything.

I like your reply. Here is when we get to see the CS quality of Garmin.

The following day they sent me a prepaid UPS label. I boxed it up and shipped it out that day. Two days later I had a new Garmin. I'd give them an A+ on CS

A choice between two RADAR technologies and optical chronographs.

I picked one up this PM at Scheels. It was their last one, and it was on sale. With my military discount and $100 gift certificate, it was $280 out the door. I could have saved another $100 if I had opened a Scheels Visa, but I did not want to go that route.

Best of luck and keep us informed.

Best of luck and keep us informed.

Will do, thanks!

Yes, please keep us informed, this may be one of my Christmas gifts.. The sale price right now is great and I was going to go with a Garmin, but 100.00 cheaper on the Caldwell has me intrigued.

 

[Kmccord]

I was getting a Garmin X for Christmas. Now I have a month or so look into the Caldwell before purchase. This is why I usually go to the Chinese buffet instead of the Chinese restaurant, I don't have to make a decision, I just eat it all.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a Garmin today for my Christmas present.

Me too. It's still in the box until Christmas. Or maybe next weekend.

They have mine ready for FedEx to pick it up . I am sure mine will have to stay in the box until Christmas, the wife will make sure of that...

 

[Kmccord]

Well, my Garmin came in today, I had all of two minutes with it before the wife took it to wrap.... I knew it was small, but dang, that sucker is little, have to make sure no wind blows while using it..

 

[FireFlyFishing]

Garmin for the win.

@FEENIX have you had the chance to use the Velociraptor yet?

 

[turbobrick]

I'm interested in the Caldwell too, but I'm still really pleased with my Garmin.

 

[FEENIX]

@FEENIX have you had the chance to use the Velociraptor yet?

No, Sir! I am off the week of Christmas, and I hope to get a chance to go to the range. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate.
