Jesus don’t get me started on ……. Never mind
We are fast creeping up on 50 pages here of folks using the Xero, accompanied by other threads on SH, other forums and FB groups some of us also frequent. It seems most of these questions are asked, and answered.
Especially, in comparison with the labradar. Folks know me know that I’m somewhat of a gearhead. Over the years, I’ve watched people struggle with the labradar and it was just one more complication I couldn’t bring myself to add to my life. So I never bought one. It was very unlike me. The kicker for me was when lowlight had his break a couple times. It was pretty obvious that this thing was somewhat fragile and not field grade.
As a person who’s taken products to market myself, the Garmin Xero launch has really been an enjoyable and fascinating thing to watch. I don’t remember seeing a product that completely upset a market the way this one has. I’m sure there are examples but I just can’t think of them.
Conspicuous in its absence is some hard use, toughness testing. If the Garmin gets knocked off a bench and hits some concrete, will it survive? Will it survive if it hits dirt. These are my only concerns at this point.
As for the two fat bastards, with fat bastards, on either side of you, I shall await your report……
