RF-V43 (4G pet tracker)

I bought this tracker:
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B08C315RFY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And would like to share my experience with it (I am already very experienced with trackers. my dog lost, broke, drown many...).

It is a disaster: the tracker does not lock, even in clear sky conditions, and the mobile application is full of bugs. the strangest thing is that it can be purchased in a huge price range: from 16€ to almost 200€. I suspect that there are clones, but they have all the same form factor, and the same reference (RF-V43), they probably come all from the same factory (?). I bought mine at around 55€ on AliExpress. By curiosity (and also because I am probably a little bit masochist) I bought another one on Amazon at only 16€ !. For information, the mobile application is Reachfar, and there is a possibility to track from home on a PC

Comments are welcome, especially explanations about this huge price range (usually it is only a factor of 2. Here it is >10 !). Can it be the same product ?

I'm using this tracker with my dog:

It's pretty good a real time tracking, down side it it's not water proof. The software that ships with it is petty poor. but I just just it with traccar.
