This is the chrono I have used for several years with excellent results. I don't connect the USB cable anymore & just note the FPS and pellet weight for each shot. These figures are then entered into this excel file that I use with the PC.

This data nay help some folks.

FPS = Feet Per Second, MPS = Meters Per Second, FPE = Foot Pounds of Energy.
To convert to Joules multiply FPE by 1.3558, Joules to FPE multiply by .7376
To convert MPS to FPS, MPS x 3.2808399 = FPS .
To convert FPS to MPS, FPS x .3048 = MPS.
FPE Formula is Pellet weight (gr) x FPS x FPS divided by 450240 or 450436.7.
450240 is 2 x velocity of gravity x 7000, (2 x 32.16 x 7000 = 450240) 450436.7 is 2 x velocity of gravity x 7000, (2 x 32.17405 x 7000 = 450436.7) The constant 450240 or 450436.7 depends on which value you use for the velocity of gravity, (acceleration due to gravity). 32.16 ft/s/s or 32.17405 ft/s/s. There are 7000 grains in one pound. The difference does not matter which ever constant is used for the FPE calculation.

If that's complicated just wait till you spend an hour trying to get a traditional one setup and it still won't read half your shots. It's less complicated that linking a Bluetooth one to a device.

i use the cheap china one you just push one button and shoot a string . has never failed in the last 3 years .

just looked at Nate chrony ,way to complicated to me , and i would need set up another devise to use it . useless by itself .

Holler if you need anything... Yes - its a little more technie than the traditional shoot over chrony's, this is by design.
We didnt include a battery or a screen - as "everyone" has a mobile - which is the worlds best screen & has a battery. This allows us to make it more rugged & keep costs down.

The setup process is to connecting your device to the Chrono Wi-Fi, then scan a QR code. It will open your browser & off you go.
(no apps to install, only the wifi to configure)
