Overall, looks like a replacement for the Pieps Micro.
And probably will have a Pieps-branded version too, although I have not yet been able to find any sneak previews of any Pieps version.Mo' skimo here: NE Rando Race Series

Thanks for sharing! I just had my first mishap with 1st gen. Pieps Micro this morning. The sensor that switches it to search and send was not allowing it to switch back into send mode even when it was put in my pocket. I had to cycle it thrice to get it to identify my partners beacon and go back to send mode. It's going to get looked over this evening to see if it can be replicated
The off/send/search on the new BD one looks great with a sliding lock and notches in the dial to lock it in place. I'll be setting aside some funds for one next season.

I too found that sensor feature to be ... a little bit too clever?
My review of the newer "Button" version is at the bottom here:

This is also a worthy competitor:
