After testing the Woyamay GPS Tracker for my adventurous cat, Whiskers, I’ve got some strong opinions. The compact, waterproof design is a win—it clips snugly onto her collar without bothering her, even during her backyard escapades. The real-time tracking works decently in open areas, though it once showed her teleporting across the neighborhood while she napped under a bush (GPS glitches, amirite?).

The health monitoring is a neat bonus—I now know Whiskers burns roughly 3 calories per hour napping (shocking). But here’s the rub: pairing this thing is like solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded. It took me 20 minutes of furious button-pressing before it connected, and the app feels like it was coded in 2009. Battery life? Forget tracking overnight adventures—it barely lasts a day.

The included SIM card and free first-year service are great… if you can stomach the $20/year fee afterward. But when the tracker randomly goes offline or shows your pet in Narnia, that subscription feels iffy. The plastic clip also feels flimsy—I reinforced it with duct tape after reading horror stories of lost trackers.

Verdict: It’s an affordable option for casual use if your pet sticks to WiFi-range shenanigans. For serious adventurers or escape artists? Save up for a premium tracker with reliable signal and battery life.
