The tariffs are going to screw the next batch up big time.

Garmin & Athlon are made in China…next batch both will get it. The Labradar LX is 100 % Canadian so tarif are less…if nothing change - they change sometime every two-3 days - the Lab will end up way cheaper than the Chinese offering - how fast this will happen - depend on Garmin & Athlon stock in US - prior tariffs.

Garmin Xero actually is Taiwan as country of origin. While the tariffs are currently on hold for them they initially were set to be significantly lower than on China. Taiwan is also looking for ways to move more of their semiconductor capacity to the U.S. facilities they already have so they will be able to cut the tariff cost burden of their electronics..
 
I bought a Garmin for my birthday back in October for $500 shipped, and just used it for the 1st time yesterday. After using a pro chrono for the last 15 years, all I can say is the Garmin is amazing, worth every penny. Will probably be the last crono I'll ever have to buy.

I'm not sold on Athlon products, but if it works at 1/3 of the price of a Garmin, shouldn't be a horrible deal.

Can you and @Krogen read very well?
I thanked one contributor for posting information about where these chronographs were in stock, then used that information to purchase one. And I plan to add more comments later based on having my personal experience with the Athlon unit.

Garmin is great! Not the subject here. If people were interested in purchasing a Garmin, they would probably be reading threads with “Garmin” in the title or OPs post.
So do you have a side by side comparison of the 2 units, or are planning on getting an Athlon to test? If so, that would be awesome and im sure we’d all love to hear it! Otherwise you’re just trolling to cause trouble with comments like the one you made.

Moving on…

While i agree, theres not a lot of risk so long as you purchase from a reputable vendor and really put it through the paces of testing while still inside the return window. Something goes wrong, send it back for a refund.
 
Another comparison between the Garmin & Athlon. He was having unusual trouble with the Garmin with the latest Firmware update.
