The watch works well for those of us that cannt hear the tone of the handheld when they go on point.

Harold, Phil's comment reminds me...the transmitter and watch both vibrate when the point signal is triggered. Sometimes the dog is pooping over the hill, but, hey, at least you know where not to step.

I went with the solar recharge model. looked at battery life and easy recharge without having to plug the watch in. You can find battery life while in GPS mode in specs page (even though it doesn't use GPS mode while showing dog tracking).

There are plenty of used Garmin watches available. Same with most of the Garmin collars and handheld products. I just sold an extra alpha 100 and a TT 15 collar. I’m still using an alpha 100 with TT 15 mini collars and a phenix 5 watch. It’s a great set up and you can always locate your dogs. (and the truck thank God)

Good feedback from Steiner there on used electronics. My Garmin Instinct watch is the entry level fitness tracker that functions perfectly well for me as a wristwatch tracking device for Beau with his Garmin TT15 collar, and the handheld tucked safely inside my coat. I think I got my Instinct brand new for well less than $200.
Good luck, Harold. Let us know how things turn out. Dave
