The newer mx alarms defiantly ain’t bomb proof seen a few problems with them battery drain problems . I had problems with them myself alarm was draining the battery when switch off and when the mx alarms do go wrong their scrap as their plastic welded together at least with the RX+ their fixable as they can be taken apart

I bought some Sonik ones after some feedback on here, superb for the money 
What I dont get with a lot of the alarms, the body work just feels cheap and nasty ffs
There was one problem and one problem only with Fox alarms for me, and that was the battery connection wires used to go brittle and break, but I think they have done away with these now.
Still using my STR digitals for carp

My fairy liquid bottle tops are better than any of these..
They go up the go down, completely waterproof, no batteries, buttons, knobs which I know some members complain alarms are too complicated…

I had fox RX+ sold them and bought 2 sets of Sonik Alarms, which have been faultless and have more features.
I wouldn’t pay the ridiculous prices for Delkim or Fox

Had the RX+ for 2 years, used weekly.
No issues and very decent on batteries.

It would react very differently underwater due to the water creating resistance to movement.

Here’s an interesting test.
Set your Delkim’s up on some grass.
Put a lead on one of your rods with a rig as well.
Place the lead 40 yards away (or any distance you like).
Walk the rod back to the rests with the bail arm open.
Put the rod on the rests and set it up like in a fishing situation.
Turn on the alarm.
Now go to the lead.
Now pick up the rig by the hook and move the lead left or right.

It ain’t even worth a discussion, Fox all the way, take some cosh!
Delkims are for tarts

I own both the TXI-d V1 and V2 alarms and can honestly say having had a play with the Nash R3+ alarms I really liked them and amazed not more people talk about them. Small, easy to use and very reliable bite time indication.

I have a set of the mx's too, but the only thing that bugs me with them is the battery drain. I have to renew the batteries quite often in a year. And I use them only for day sessions of about 6 hours.

i dont like the new Delkim alarms there too small and annoying , and as mentioned the drop back is a must for me when fishing and its not that good, and hate the look of them , iv been using the Fox rx plus alarms and there good at what they do , great drop back , easy to set them up with the 3 rotary wheels , great nite lites , nice and bright at night , good tones , donwhat they say on the tin
but the build quality is not very good iv had a few rotary wheels fall off and battery bay wires deteriorate, they also feel cheap
fox also have crap after sales and do not repair there alarms , you have to go to another company
if Delkim sorted out there drop back , and went back to there original design on the txi model before the txi plus then they would probably be the best alarm to have but at the moment the fox rx plus is king

I’d have the MX’s over the RX+’s. MX are bombproof and I’ve never heard of anyone ever having problems with them, but have heard of issues with RX+, but nowhere near as many issues as Delkims!

And here's me who wouldn't go back to RX+ 
They're a roller alarm and as such represent poor value for money in the present market v other roller alarms..imo...and the warranty is crap, not even in house anymore.
Fox once made good alarms, up to the original Rx then they lost the plot....and vibro.
Flame me if you want 👍
