What we like
- GPS fence system: under 2 ft stated accuracy, 20 updates per second
- Unlimited fences stored on the collar and working without Wi-Fi or cellular
- IP67 waterproof; auto-connects to all major global carriers
- Full fit kit in the box; fits neck sizes 8 to 30.5 in
What we don't like
- $524 listed — more than four times the next most expensive tracker here
- 48-hour battery is a fraction of every other tracker in this group
- Pack Membership required from $9.99/mo, so the fence costs never stop
- Includes static feedback; it is a training collar, which not every owner wants
