This device has served me well for about 20 years. Unfortunately I lost the battery cover (my fault). I hope that the new device will serve me faithfully for another 20 years. I can only recommend this part.

This is an ingenious, handy device that is useful not only for divers or paddlers, but also for the owner of a small yacht without shore electrics (here Leisure 17). The proud price will surely diminish if there will be more competing products on the market, but I did not want to wait. I really recommend this unit.
Currently (June 2023) the water depth at the port exit is decreasing again - you can use that for security. A bit inaccurate due to the aquatic plants and the water lilies with the large leaves that are currently still growing under water. I believe that these flat leaves irritate the ad a bit. I thought about it for a long time, since it's quite expensive... but a permanent installation of an echo sounder in my wooden boat would have been significantly more expensive ;)
A small damage is visible at the bottom edge of the display. This is shown on the display. Manufacturing defects may occur on the yellow plastic. I hope you don't get soaked.
According to the item description, I found out that it is also possible to measure distances to side obstacles. The device arrived and I immediately unpacked it upon delivery (only 1 day delivery time!). Tried it on the rain barrel. Measurement with 0.9 m water depth, test with a ruler at 0.9 m. So the result is very accurate. No measurement is possible above water, the device must be held with the sensor in the water, so no measurement of side obstacles above the water surface (e.g. rock wall in the bay) is possible. But the description reads differently (my interpretation). A pity. That's why the item was returned and only 3 stars.
