So these have been out a while now, so wondered if there were any users with reviews, pro and cons. (I've already seen the message about the customer service).

TIA

Wolf are in administration so you'd be mad to buy them

Maybe mr Hamidi should use a chunk of his investors money to buy them at a bargain basement price. I'm sure with his profile he could do something with that brand and he's expressed an interest in getting into fishing technology, plus he said he doesn't want to compete with Korda (see how long that lasts) and obviously at the minute they don't do alarms (yet)

Especially if he re designed them so they didnt look like £12.99 argos alarms.

I don't think they are Ian. Wolf International Ltd is in administration, but Wolf Europe Ltd is still going strong with Richard Fox at the helm. They changed their name to Wolf Europe on social media some months ago. It looks like some kind of strategic change.

Intriguid by these, bought the fox rx+ when they came out for £500 but prices have shot up and a mate wanted them and was willing to pay £500 and offered a good deal on these. Bit reluctant to change but as these icon's are a modern fox but made in the UK and come with a four year warranty curiosity got the better of me. Size wise people say they are huge but they are similar to the rx+ but with more features and they feel more robust. Loved my original fox rx digital's with roller and vibration sensing and these icons are the same. Time will tell how good or bad they are but they will get used heavily next year on a new water.

A lad on one of the waters I'm on has these.He loves them and I must admit the build quality is superb,the only negative is the amount of batteries needed.I guess all the functions they have they need the extra juice,the pictures don't do them justice.In the flesh like you say they are not much bigger than the rx+ (which I use).I have been tempted to get some,I await your feedback

Three AA's each alarm and four in the receiver, thousand hours on standby per alarm and 500 hours for receiver. If these prove reliable I think they will be unbeatable but as said only time will tell but wolf must have confidence in them to offer four years warranty. If this was just a random company with unknown people I would wait a long time before buying but as everyone knows they are ex fox and I'm a fox rx digital and rx+ fan.

They won't be around me in one year if they aren't reliable because I'll stamp on them.

I read that you dont set the vibration, it sets itself. It put me off getting a set. How does that work? How do they know the angling situation?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
