I've already contacted Garmin support regarding the issue, but figured I would reach out to others on the forum, see if anyone has encountered similar issues?
One of the big reasons I purchased the 2x Tactical was for the Applied Ballistics functionality (it would have been nice, however, to know ahead of time about the EXTREME software cost to use it on top of the watch purchase)
According to the help documents for the watch (https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=sGYDr7hXhE7xupyy3pGp0A) you can pair certain rangefinders to the watch to update the holds to target. However, the function does not work!
I've tested thoroughly with my Vortex Fury 5000 AB rangefinder, and though I'm able to pair it to the watch without issue, it never updates the target range in the AB watch software. I know that Bluetooth is working on the rangefinder, as I am able to use the Vortex app on my phone to see the range. I also know that Bluetooth works on the watch, as I get notification updates from my phone all the time on my watch. But no matter how many times I go through the support article and verify that the rangefinder shows up as connected as an AB sensor, it never works.
Bench shooting it isn't such a big deal.... range out, manually update the range on the watch and take the shot. I HAD hoped to use it in the field, however, for this hunting season with a spotter on the rangefinder. By the time they whisper the range, and I manually update the value on the watch, the data is way too old and not useful.
Anyone else tried this function with this watch? any success? I've been waiting over 2 months now for Garmin to provide a resolution... now they just say to contact AB. Almost to the point of demanding the $300 back for the software license and returning the watch.
