Good chrony with bluetooth/app capabilities?

[DanaD]

Looking for good chrony that supports capturing shots to app via bluetooth. I have borrowed an FX but not crazy about short battery life. I have a shooting chrony and would prefer a model that does not use technology requiring skyscreens. 

Any recommendations/favorites?

Thanks

The ProChrono has worked great for me. Still on the first battery after a few months.

Yep, the Prochrono has worked well for me, even after putting a .22 RF bullet through it! Covered the hole with black tape, and it keeps on ticking. Guess I managed to miss the electronics.

Caldwell has a nice chrony with bluetooth. Very good phone app, easy to send strings via email or text.

Just get some lithium ion batteries for the FX chrono and battery life problems are solved. I have both of these and they are fantastic.

Thanks Patrick, I'll check out those rechargeable lithiums.

It's fairly easy to adapt a normal phone charger to the FX Chrono...or a USB power bank.

I have the Pro-crono and also FX. I have put them in line with each other and they both display the same exact numbers so there is no question if one is more accurate than the other. I find that I use the FX a LOT more than the PC unit. I have no issues with short battery life either using standard alkaline batteries.

I have the prochono dlx and it's great. My only issue with it is that it needs pretty good lighting to read consistently. Very overcast days or early evening lighting is not its friend.

Works great in all lighting conditions with the optional light kit.
