  • Simple, standalone device that just works
Style: Spot X
Easy to use, standalone device with easy to use keyboard, backlight and great battery life. Affordable service and receiving or sending pre-defined messages is free and doesn't count against your message count.

  • Decent Device But You Have To Understand What It Is and Isn't
Style: Spot X
I see a number of negative reviews on this device. I had one of the first gen Spot messengers that I ditched for the Garmin Inreach (which does have a number of advantages over Spot--complete global coverage being one of them). I just downgraded my Inreach plan and picked up a Spot X. So far I'm glad I did. First, this is important to understand: it's a satellite device. You really have to be outside in order for it to work reliably. It looks like people are picking these up expecting them to be some sort of everywhere-Blackberry'ish device. It's not. But it's close enough such that, properly configured, it will give people a way to reach you (and you them) in a semi-reasonable amount of time. It also does a stellar job of tracking and reporting your outdoor location. Bottom line: I've spent about 2 weeks with it on my hip, indoors and out, and here's what I've found. Outdoors, it always works. It tracks, sends and receives messages perfectly. In the car it's a little less reliable but setting it in a little suction cup holder on the windshield also works perfectly. In the house, if I set it on a table by the window it works some-to-most of the time. Anywhere else indoors is a black hole. Battery life is reasonable although I don't think it'll run 10 days 24x7 with tracking at 10 minutes. So take a solar battery if you're going to be off-grid a while. Things I wish it did better: the user interface. It's a little cumbersome to see what did and didn't get sent. It would be nice if there were an "if you really want to send this, you need to stand still and hold it up in the air" beeps after a couple of minutes of not sending. Email-to-text has room for improvement but if you just text message phones it works well. Also, there's no 2-way coverage in Australia? Really?! The one-way beacon worked great there but it would be nice to text from the outback. But for the Americas, Western Europe and Africa it seems to have you covered. I'll say that the one-way version also worked flawlessly in The Gambia a couple of years back. But for $20 bucks a month ($30 a month if you want to spend your whole trek texting all your buddies every waking minute) it's a good deal. You just have to understand what you're getting. ... show more

  • Unreliable service
Style: Spot Gen 4
The device itself is fine. The problem is with the required service to make it work. I ultimately had to return this and go with a more reputable brand that cares about reliability. When I first bought the device I was completely unable to use it the first weekend. Their website to set up an account and pay for the service was down and made it impossible to create an account to activate the SPOT. They have no customer service outside of M-F, 9-5. So instead of going on a hike with our new Spot, we waited. On Monday I called and they explained "it was just a server issue", and "nothing to worry about". While on the phone the issue was resolved and I proceeded to create my account and sign up. Fast forward a few weeks. We came down out of the mountains to panicked friends and family because, while the SPOT confirmed that the check-in messages were delivered, they, in fact, were not. Tried several more times while in civilization, each time the SPOT confirmed the message was sent. No messages were ever actually delivered. Waited (again, until Monday during working hours) to reach out to support. They confirmed, again, that it was "just a server issue, nothing to worry about because they are now aware of it and working on a fix". The attitude of the company is what sealed the deal to completely stay away from them: they had no regard for the fact that it straight up didn't work. They didn't care that it could have been a life or death emergency and their product didn't work. No acknowledgement that there was a real issue, just a small "blip" that was getting fixed. This device is for emergencies and needs to work. Repeated "small" server errors don't seem to bother them. I suggested they maybe have a system status page to let customers know if there's an issue. That suggestion was met with argument: "Why would anyone want to know when the system is down" and "our engineers don't know how to update the website if they know there's a problem". Yikes. Bottom line: I don't trust this company to communicate in the event of an emergency. Twice bitten is enough for me. Device has been returned, service refunded, and I'm not looking back. ... show more
