If I could make a suggestion, go ahead and go with the Garrett Carrot. This is the waterproof Pro Pointer made by Garrett. It is the orange colored pointer. Not only are these made well and perform well, but Garrett stands behind their products and does well by their customers after the sale. I and my wife have two of the black pointers (non waterproof). When it is time to replace these, I will replace them with the orange carrot. I have had my pointers for awhile now and they will last if they are taken care of. JMHO Good luck in your search.
