Source: findmespot.com (verified 2026-07-13) · corroborated by outfittersatellite.com. The official SPOT store page (findmespot.com) confirms the exact model "SPOT Gen4 — Satellite GPS Messenger" with its full Tech Specs table (DUST AND WATER RESISTANT IP68, WEIGHT 5 oz/142 g with Lithium Batteries, 4 AAA batteries, Globalstar network) and a current price of $99.99 (MSRP $149.99). Outfitter Satellite's retailer page corroborates the identical model, explicitly listing Dimensions "88.3 × 67.6 × 23.6 mm", Weight "142g (with Lithium Batteries)", Waterproof Rating "IP68", "One-Way Messaging (Check-In, Custom Message & Help)", "4 × AAA Lithium ... or 4 × AAA NiMH Rechargeable Batteries", and a $149.95 retail price. Neither page publishes an hours-based battery runtime (only "up to 1,250 Check-In & Custom Messages"), so batteryLifeHrs is null; no release date is stated on either page, so releaseDate is null.
