So I've had this device for just under a week now and will post my updates here as to how I'm finding it. I paid (£455) for this with my own money so this is not a sponsored post, just my honest review for those not wishing to splash out on a garmin model.
@Dogtra U.K. who is a member here will be able to answer more questions should anyone have any.
I've got a ~10kg Jagd X Patterdale terrier, the mini collar fits fine. The collar flashes green every 3-4 seconds to show its on and working. They're a little bright at first/last light so i'd prefer if after 3 minutes of being switched on this flashed once every 60 seconds.
I would also prefer if the button on the handheld had a physical lock covering the button to prevent accidental use.
I like the ability to link to my phone to see the mapping, i'm used to working with satellite imagery and it's nice to see exactly where an animal is rather than on a crap terrain map offered by some alternatives.
I haven't tested it in thick woodland/restock yet, but next time i drop fallow in the thick stuff i'll see how well it tracks the dog and report back.
One thing i would say that's annoying is that the unit comes with a foreign USB wall plug and an adapter to fit into UK sockets.
