Good service

It integrates well into the life jacket and is a real safety benefit that we hopefully will never have to use.

Haven't actually used it yet! Thank goodness! ;-)

Fortunately I haven't had to try it but it is well designed and contemplates all possible scenarios.

Fast delivery

After a long wait, easy2-MOB has now arrived with the announced new features, in particular an LED signal for people in the water when the emergency call is "acknowledged". Accommodation in the lifejackets (Spinlock LITE and 5D) is easy, even if the device is not tiny. Programming the MMSI of the "mother ship" via an app works well, although the app still has a bug (it does not display the AIS distress beacon's own MMSI), but according to Weatherdock it will be fixed. Incidentally, Weatherdock responded quickly and clearly to my query regarding the missing device MMSI. Hopefully we don't have to rely on the devices, but we have confidence in the manufacturer and the technology because of the previous models. A purchase recommendation due to the useful features (buoyant, easy to integrate into vests, app, range, DSC integration).

Compared to other similar products it seems to be a good compromise between quality and price
At the moment I have only configured it, tested it and attached it to the life jacket (a bit uncomfortable given the bulk)
Fortunately I have not had the opportunity to really try it but I hope it does its job.
I recommend it for those who sail on boats with AIS and especially if in off-shore regattas

I have three copies of this product, in slightly older versions than this one, which means that I can testify to its use, a crew member having fallen into the water with it. The triggering was instantaneous, and everything worked without a hitch, except that it would have been necessary to keep in mind the deactivation procedure. The time to find the documentation (after having recovered the crew member) to deactivate the transmission, the device continued to transmit with the consequences that one can imagine. Not very serious, but it is better to be prepared!). On the other hand, when the device triggered, the part holding the antenna rolled up and broke. Contacted, Weatherdock technical support told me that this was a known problem, which had been resolved by replacing this part with a stronger one. Do you think they would have offered me a free replacement part (since it was a design flaw)? Well no. I had to buy it. And even bought several to update my other devices. Only a few euros (plus shipping), so not ruinous, but not very elegant. Since then, I have been getting ACR equipment. ACR replaces used devices for free. (They just ask for a written testimonial of their use to put on their site.)
