I have a 300i and have used it a lot since late last summer. I agree with all the advice above. I do use a Fenix watch and keep the handheld in the left shell pocket on my vest with a Hammerhead Retractable Gearkeeper secured to a shell loop. I have never broken a gear keeper. The smaller gear keeper is plenty strong enough to keep tre handheld safe.
The one drawback I've found with the 300i is that the screen must be locked if the device remains in your pocket otherwise it will jump around to various screens.
For tick issues we use a flea collar and spray if we know we will be in significant numbers of ticks. We have some coverts in southern NH we don't even go to anymore because of tick infestation. Up north we rarely find ticks.
