What owners single out
In their words
“I wanted this for tracking during field trials, but the update rate feels slow. Plus, no vibration or tone feature—kinda pointless if you’re not training. Would’ve preferred a new one.”

“Used item, but no real proof it’s been tested. Battery doesn’t hold charge. Also, the collar color came out all wrong—definitely not what I expected. Would not recommend.”
