Received an email from Gardner, the speaker cover is apparently to reduce the volume of the speaker. I haven't found a difference but perhaps if you got a meter on it it would show a difference.
They are also meant to come with the 2 magnet wheels even though the booklet says 4.

I ordered 2 which arrived today. Feel just like the ATTs. I was going to get a third illuminated wheel alarm but I like the high snag ears so purchasing the accessories with the standard atts illuminated wheel alarm brings it close to the current rrp of the ATTa alarms. The Fishing Outlet just had a 20% off any item sale on the weekend and they had the new ATTa alarms so I thought I'd get 2 and replace one of my ATTs alarms.
Prefer the new covers to the replacement neoprene covers you get with the high snag ears.
The ATTa covers do fit over the ATTs with high snag ears but they are a bit loose.
They come with the 2 magnet wheel, booklet says they come with the 4 for some reason.
Not sure why the speaker rubber grommet cover is included, a bit fiddly to make sure 4 little rubber tabs stay in the recesses on the speaker, it also obviously covers the arrow on the speaker when you twist it to turn the speaker on and off.

Had a look at some today. Not a great deal to say that's not picked up in the video's. Non adjustable volume is set to a moderate level, probably loud enough for 90% of the time, but if like me me you like to fish in the face of a howling wind, with a brolly between me and my rods I think I'd need the extension box. Tone is set towards the high side. The rotating speaker switch seems fairly solid and positive in action, certainly not sloppy or loose. One thing I've not seen mentioned before is that they come with a rubber speaker cover (unless these were seperate accessories) there is a central plug that goes into the centre of the speaker and four little tabs that should fit into the slots around the edge of the speaker, the tabs were difficult to fit. I presume this is for waterproofing as it didn't seem to make alot of difference to the volume. They seem a well made solid alarm, the only thing I would have liked to have seen is a redesign of the backs to lessen the chances of the line going to the side of the roller.

Hey, thanks man, must’ve watched this three times already 😂 I’m after seeing if anyone’s had their hands on them yet for feedback.

Saw them at the big one in Farnborough earlier this year. Slightly bigger than the atts buzzer

Has anyone seen them in person yet, now they’re released in shops? I’m keen to see them.

These look brilliant
Does anyone know when they’ll be out?

I suppose they have added volume to the actual alarm,because if the receiver dies or you forget to take it with you then the alarms are not much use. Well they definitely wouldn’t be any use for night fishing
They have compromised their big selling point by adding a volume dial though. The fact that they used to be 99% waterproof
I have my alarms on silent at night anyway,and have the receiver set to vibrate
But I suppose you can still use the new version at night even if the receiver dies on you
I have Delkim alarms also but I do love my ATTs
I’ve not used my Delks for a while and I think I’ve forgotten all the button presses already
At least with the ATTs there is nothing to forget
I deffo will be buying the new ones though lol
At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what alarms you have you can’t beat the sound of one of them bleeping into action
I say doesn’t matter what alarms you have,but you don’t want alarm that die on you as soon as it rains heavily
And I’m not talking about my Delks now either 😂

They are on the boat now he reckons, he did admit they are not as waterproof as the original ATTS alarms due to the speaker and switch as expected I guess. £89.99 per head and you can use them with the existing receivers.

I’ve asked Matt Eaton who is an angler for Gardner. He was also talking to people about the alarms at the carp show
He said all he knows is sometime this Spring
