It's not as easy to use as my Caldwell, which when it works, it works very well. Data sent to my phone automatically after every shot. But I get a fair amount of no-reads. And occasionally, really strange reads. I went through a couple of strings one day where the velocities were all about 1000 ft/sec lower than actual! It was really weird. And I've never gotten it to measure handgun shots well at all. Not even once.
You don't lose the magnetospeed data when you go to the next group (I write it all down anyway), you save it on a microchip which you can download into your laptop, they are csv files, every group is labeled 01-99, and when you reach 99 it starts the numbering all over. Doesn't overwrite until the chip is full, just another set of 00-99's (mine is 4GB). ... they will store on that chip for years.
But yeah that little garmin is pretty cool.
