Poorly made. Not loud. Got worse after 3 uses. Had to use a cowbell because teams couldn’t hear!

Horrible valuable. Spent too much on a whistle that didn't even last a few classes. I'm a PE teacher and with covid protocols this year when I'm inside wearing a mask I needed a push button whistle. Well the weather has finally tuned cold enough where my classes have moved inside so the whistle has just started getting used a few classes ago. Whistle already has stopped working. Of course it's out of the return window on Amazon because I purchased prior to the start of school even though I've just started using it. At first it worked was decently loud but now nothing.

My use is as a swimming Deck Referee. The device is not loud enough to be clearly heard across 10 pool lanes. None of the sounds actually sound much like a referee whistle.
Very dissatisfied.

I’m an experienced volleyball official, with years of experience in high school, club, and college. I bought this a month and a half ago, when we weren’t sure if we’d need electronic whistles or not. I have heard the the Fox 40 electronic whistles are the loudest you can get, but 4-5 different models were tested at the 2020 AAU tournament, and this ‘Fish’ style model got high marks for being fairly loud, having good battery life, and being fairly durable. I dropped mine on accident, and the battery compartment popped open, but no damage. The batteries might have been able to pop out, which would have been a mess, during a match.
I have used it briefly, but I have not used it for a whole match. Things to note as an official: the sound is VERY directional, meaning it is only loud where you point it. So, you need to practice with it, and either point it down and angle toward the court, so the sound reflects back up towards the players, or point it briefly at both sides. It comes with a wrist lanyard, but attaching it to the R1 stand or a neck lanyard is a must, as it is awkward and looks ridiculous to have it hanging from your wrist. You will have...
