Garmin Xero C2 Chronograph
New and Upgraded Gen 2 Version
The Garmin Xero C2 Chronograph delivers fast, reliable ballistic data in a compact, rugged design. With a high-speed processor tracking up to 10 shots per second, it accurately measures projectile speeds from 100–5,000 fps across rifles, pistols, bows and airguns. Smartwatch and smartphone connectivity allows live data viewing and seamless Applied Ballistics® integration, while the reinforced, IPX7-rated housing and long-lasting rechargeable battery ensure dependable performance in demanding range conditions.
In ballistics, precision is everything. The Garmin Xero C2 Chronograph is a compact, trusted solution designed to deliver fast, accurate velocity data with total confidence. Building on the success of its predecessor, it features a faster processor capable of tracking up to 10 shots per second, ensuring instant, reliable results even during rapid fire.
Designed for versatility, the Xero C2 accurately measures projectile speeds from 100 fps to 5,000 fps, making it suitable for rifles, pistols, bows, air rifles, airsoft and more. Advanced onboard calculations include muzzle velocity, extreme spread, standard deviation, averages, kinetic energy and power factor, giving you meaningful ballistic insight without guesswork.
Seamless connectivity is at the heart of the Xero C2. Bluetooth® integration with compatible Garmin smartwatches allows you to control sessions and view live data while staying in position. Muzzle velocity can be sent directly into the Applied Ballistics® ecosystem, enabling precise long-range shooting solutions on your watch or smartphone. The ShotView app further enhances analysis by tracking shots, measuring deviation and managing multiple sessions with ease.
For shooters running multiple setups, the resume session feature keeps data clean and organised when switching between firearms or bows. Built for real-world use, the chronograph features a reinforced, recoil-resistant housing and an IPX7 water-resistance rating, ensuring durability in demanding range conditions.
With up to 2,000 shots or 6 hours of battery life, USB-C charging and both rifle-mount and tripod compatibility, the Garmin Xero C2 Chronograph is a powerful, portable tool for shooters who demand absolute accuracy every time they pull the trigger.
