I have to charge mine once a week so I'm not really understanding they say that you don't have to charge it but once every month or 3 months I don't get that at all.
Yeah, I’m the same way. I do know that the more extensively you use it, the more it drains that battery. But, that’s what they advertise. Most of these smart-collar manufacturers make claims that are a little over the top. Like SpotOn and Halo, both of which advertise 25 and 24 hours respectively. In reality, it’s more like 20 hours, maybe 21 for the Halo and 23 to 24 for the SpotOn.
I've had the latest FI for a year and half. It's a last resort. As far as real time, it sucks. There is way too much lag in the live tracking. If there are roads near your house and your dog is a runner, then you might find your dog dead before the device works. FI and the Whistle should have HUGE disclaimers on the top of their website pages warning owners.
If they would lower the price of subscription maybe raise the cost of the device itself I would probably buy it. But the subscription is the killer. If it had Live Tracking maybe it would be worth it.
I agree. Some of these subscription models are straight up robbery. Out of all these collars I’ve covered, I went with the SpotOn. It’s crazy expensive upfront (it helps to grab a discount code or catch them during a Spring sale or something), but there’s no subscription unless I have to track. The subscriptions are a little more reasonable if you do need the tracking and it’s the most accurate tracking I’ve come across yet.

That collar. What size am i looking at? X small? Small? Medium? Large? X Large? Which one do you have? I want to see what the x small looks like.
Mine are a medium and a large. The X-small is for neck sizes 9.5” to 11” and 3/4” wide. The small is also 3/4” wide. Everything above that is 1” wide.

I agree. Mine got worse since I made the video. I stick with SpotOn for the most part, unless I’m testing something new.
