I put this in the upland hunting forum but I thought I'd ask here as well.
What are the best options? What has been you're experience with your unit?

GARMIN FENIX 3 GPS WATCH Syncs to the Alpha 100 with Bluetooth. Displays up to three dogs (or other Alpha 100s) at a time. Shows the direction and the distance. Even with three displayed, it is MUCH easier to read than the Alpha when it is displaying multiple dogs. It also vibrates and beeps for the Dog Alerts, such as point or leaving the preset distance. It does the same stupid auto-switch between Feet, Yards, and Miles that the Alpha does. Amazon Link The best info on the net is at Gun Dog Supply, but Steve is only carrying the newer, more expensive model. Gun Dog Supply Fenix 5 (More expensive)

I have the Garmin Fenix 5 which will work with my Alpha or 430 but I use my handheld for tracking my dogs. I do wear the Fenix 5 when hunting so that I can track Barometic pressure which greatly affects scenting conditions. When you are trailing lions, it can be an all day track. If the pressure drops to low, trailing is almost impossible unless the dogs are really close to the game. Adios, Gary
