Wolf icon qi and hubb are as adjustable as delkim and have drop back differential and feel more robust. They are also made in the UK and if you register them you get an extra year's warranty so four years. I've not owned all the alarms like some but have and still own nev's, used rx digitals for years which my son has and I replaced with rx + which were replaced by the icons. Had txi's but suffered water ingress so sold them. Not prepared to recommend the wold icons as they are new and only time will tell how reliable they are long term but they may be the best I've owned. Solid build, dials big enough for cold hands even though heads can be adjusted from hub. So far I'm very happy with them and wouldn't swap for anything else on the market.

Guy fishing next to me a few weeks back had a head stop working.He was lucky it was in the day and he had a 3rd alarm with him(2 rod limit on water).I know all alarms can have issues but he was not very happy at all

Been a couple of issues reported on the owners forum, one sorted via messaging through forum other returned, forum is global and they seem to have sold well in Europe. Time is the only true test and as you say all can have faults, know the rx+ and txid haven't been faultless.

I tried the new delks, really tried to get on with them but after the last disaster session, no indication and fish had moved the rig 25m plus sold them on. Upgraded to att and only got the rx+'s as a mate won a set so I got them cheap.
Att crystals in green are just awesome IMO.

There are various factors that could have affected your indication. Weight and type of indicator, sensitivity settings on the alarm, line lay etc.
If delkims didnt sense the movement, no way a roller wheel alarm will have

That is simply incorrect , a kiting fish on a tight line taking or dropping back very slightly will register on a roller whereas I've had the same problem a few times with Delks not registering as mentioned, they simply do not register on a very very slow line movement, try it
