I ordered a Garmin Xero C1 since they are were on sale for $140 off. The order was placed on Aug 14. Still hasn't shipped. Here is what I get from them today.

They want $120 to ship the thing saying its a Hazmat item. LMAO

I will be ordering directly from Garmin, with FREE shipping.

Unfortunately its classed as haz because it has a lithium battery.

My watch has a lithium battery. Had no issues getting it shipped to me.

In that instance the watch has an incorporated battery, where it is not removeable or designed to be removed, just like some phones or laptops. There can be exemptions for couriers to accept these items and ship them without them being declared as hazardous cargo. Its entirely possible that your Xero could qualify as well but I don't know anything about the item and its battery.
