Anne Wilmoth: Works great on our sailboat with fixed keel on a lake. It is very light and easy to use. Seems to be accurate also which is important!

Ole Techo from Drummoyne: Annoying that unit appears to default to reading in feet.
Would like if it can set to reading meters only

pranav: It's good. I think lot of people couldn't find how to change its unit. But I must tell you it shows depth in both meters and feets. You have to just pull the switch for 5 seconds, then leave it as per the choice.

SCT: This HawkEye depth finder arrived with no printed manual or instructions. Instead, it comes with a tag requiring you to scan a QR code. A glossy postcard inside the box says that Hawkeye is doing this “[i]n order to reduce waste ….” Yet, Hawkeye included the glossy paper card with that message as well as advertising for its other products. There is another card included that advertises free shipping. They also included a HawkEye decal they presumably want you to fix tear boat or whatever. clearly “waste“ is not the reason they did not include a manual or some simple instructions. Using less paper than that used for those promotional materials, HawkEye could have easily included basic instructions for this device. I would like to know who at that company thought it was a good idea not to include instructions. Have they ever considered that depth finder may be used in remote areas where there is no Internet access? Have they thought about customers who are not tech savvy? Have they thought about customers who do not have QR readers on their phones? It was highly frustrating to receive this expensive product without the most basic instructions included and accessible. I...

AlexAlex: I have only used it once, but it was a bit of a torture test. I took it ice fishing and it was -15C when I got to the lake. It was exposed to the cold from the get go..........no ice hut.
Drilled several holes first, as usual, from shallow to deeper. I then pushed the switch on the Hawkeye, held it by the lanyard and lowered it into the holes about 4 to 6 inches, counted to 3, and lifted it out and read my depth. No need to touch the switch again between holes.....just dip and read. It worked perfectly each time. It was so cold that by the last hole a film of ice covered the Hawkeye, but it worked flawlessly. I live in Ontario, where this is normal winter temp. The only thing I did to prep the unit was after I put in the battery, I lubed the 0 rings on the battery cover with O ring lubricant to ensure no water got in. Caught a 3lb. Splake same morning!!

Yacht Design Software Developer: I originally owned the earlier version of this hand held depth finder. It lasted about 6 years and failed due to salt water ingress. This new model has a much improved water seal method and looks like it will last a lot longer. It is easy to use the simple slide switch to get temperature / depth of the water. But it can be confusing as to which reading is going to be shown. If you see temp then immerse and try again or vis versa. Getting an accurate water temperature requires that the unit be immersed for a minute or two otherwise you are reading some version of the air temperature and the water. The temperature sensor will be stable at air temp initially so it will take some time to cool / warm it to water temperature. Otherwise I have found this to be reliable and a great way to be sure that the water depth is less than my crab pot float! Otherwise it is good by trap and create a boating hazard. So this unit gets kept in our dinghy during Dungeness Crab season.

momof2assholes: I don't write reviews often, but I felt compelled to do so after seeing the negative reviews for this depth finder. It's actually a phenomenal product. I received this depth finder as a Christmas gift and immediately put it to use on my swimming pool. To much of my dismay, it didn't read depth, so I reached out to the manufacturer. I received a response within minutes stating that it would not work in a swimming pool along with a link to a knowledge base article explaining why.

So, the next day I took it on the ice and was quickly thrilled by its effectiveness if I followed the instructions regarding clearing snow away and using water. I was able to obtain readings directly through the ice so that I could tell the depth before I drilled my hole. I did notice however that it had difficulties reading in white ice (more about that later). I drilled several holes and tried it out again in the holes. I did notice that it works great where the ice was not too thick (1.5ft or so), but had difficulties where the ice was really thick (3 ft or so). When I got home I contacted their support again and once again received a quick response with explanations and links to knowledge base...
