Anyone excited about the new Garrett? Im interested to see where it is priced considering the relatively cheap Vanquish and the Simplex .

Something I noticed.... "Sports Division" leads me to believe this will be at a entry level price range....

Sports division just means not law enforcement division.

Hope it’s not yellow.

Hope it’s not yellow.

LOL. It is a good question though. It would be nice if the manufacturers could offer camo, colour & black/ grey. It would be interesting to see if it would affect sales...did anyone NOT buy a Vanquish because it is red?

Red turned me off!!!

 

[xr7ator]

Green turned me on!

I hope the unique coil is still a double dee design.

I'd really like to see Garrett up the competitive game. They've fallen behind as we know but if they don't come out with a multi frequency rival to Minelab's machines, they'll still be behind. It's only through strong competition that we all benefit with more capable equipment.

Just the view from my foxhole...

Its on in 3 minutes!

Looks good so far - Multi-Freq - Entry-Mid level detector
Zlink wireless

Like the Viper coil - nice midsized coil

Not sure if its rain proof yet ? - That would be a bummer

 

[chub]

Rain proof. Multi frequency that Minelab didnt take to court! $499 possibly $425

I'll give Garrett a lot of credit for keeping pace with the competition. I was worried the American companies were doomed but this is a huge step in the right direction.

 

[chub]

Well done to Garrett...it's a few months to release. Excellent job at keeping current and relevant.

I don't feel that Garrett has kept up with the competition. I think they have just out done them on advertising. I really hope the Apex gets them up to the performance level of the competition. It would be nice to see a USA company produce a Top Tier detector and not just another entry level machine.

 

[RustyGold]

I think this is more than an entry level machine. More of a 2nd tier level detector. Looks like a great upgrade from the original.

Thanks Garrett for keeping the color scheme tasteful.
