Those Garmin watches are neat, I think they even have an EPIRB model where you unscrew the crown to activate the transmitter and pull out the wire antenna…

In reply to jwtaylor. Good to know re current compatibility and the velocity to temp/elevation table building would be the desired data (weird that way) although I would imagine it would be more useful in the Rocky Mountain ranges than Appalachia.

In reply to SAFEupstateFML. Not a dumb question and since I have that chronograph it was one of mine as well. There is the possibility for that to work and all it would need is a software update for both devices. But right now no, I can't figure out any connectivity between those two. That said, there's fairly limited value to have that in the watch, other than a muzzle velocity temp table.

It’s stuff like this that almost makes me want to get into the 21st century tech beyond a smart phone. Neat combination of features but dumb question, does it work with the garmen chronograph with the ability to save velocity and averages? Mostly a want of data collection/confirmation across a wide array of conditions (and probably way overthinking it).
