Might be even cheaper in a few weeks, although I don't know how much more, if at all. I try to refrain from buying anything so close to the Black Friday/Cyber Monday events.

Hmmm wondering if they’re coming out with a new model?

Chinaaaa competition I'll bet.

Probably to stop this from taking more market share...

I own both the Xero and the Athlon, both work well but the Garmin is the superior unit

Why is the Garmin the better unit? I am looking at buying either a Garmin or Athlon.

The Garmin is pretty dumb when it comes to sessions. You start a session and shoot. As soon as you stop the capture session, it locks the session and you can't edit it. You can't remove cold bold shots, you can't add more shots in the future.

The Athlon allows both of those things.

It's also worth repeating that the Garmin has the wrong formula for computing Standard Deviation.

Interesting about the SD, I would like to know what is wrong and how you make it right? What is the right formula? I was looking at numbers last night after a session at the range with my 9.3x62 and 250gn ECX and was wondering about the standard decimation number!

Probably something worth sending them a tech support message about. I can't see how an update wouldnt easily fix that

• Athlon allows you to add shots in future to a stopped session? That's news to me
• Garmin is working on a software update which will allow shots to be added to previous session
• With the Garmin you can exclude cold bore shots in the app
• Garmin and Athlon both use the same population SD formula

• Easier to view the display, less reflection on screen than Athlon
• One less button, easier to navigate menus
• Shows battery % when plugged in
• Velocity more consistent with other Garmin units & Labradar - Athlon has more variation unit to unit
• Smaller size

The Athlon is a good product, and if the $ difference is more important than anything else, it's the one to go with!

Interesting, most of the reviews I saw/red, were stating that the biggest benefit of the athlon was the ease of navigating through “pages” and menus…
I guess it depends on on each person.
I like my garmin lots.

Garmin all the way for me! Excellent product, but not cheap!

General consensus is that the Garmin is a more accurate unit, with a better interface and no glare on the screen.
That being said, I would not be surprised to find out that the primary internals were manufactured by the same company.
We already know that all Chinese production holosuns, vortex, and sig red dots come out of the same factory. What is to say this is not the same case. Athlon claims china while Garmin claims Taiwan manufacturing, both of which could be sourcing from the same actual supplier.

Nothing you can do about the SD.

Garmin uses Population SD instead of Sample SD - Labradar uses Sample, not sure about Athlon
