The Garmin Astro 430 is a very nice piece of equipment. It is compact and durable. It is a little bit different than the Astro 320 in operation but it is easy to make the transition to using it. The 430 has been very reliable in tracking and recording the distance that the dogs have run. Daniel S · lcsupply.com

I got this because it was the smallest and most lightweight one I could find to put on mg 11 lb dog. When I put it on his harness he doesn’t notice it’s there. My dog is super speedy so my biggest fear is him running off and getting lost, so this product gives me peace of mind, without being too annoying for my dog. Deirdre J. · fitbark.com
