I'm starting a list of data loggers people use on buoys. Anyone have others they want to mention?

CR1000x/e, CR6, CR310/350, and recently a couple Sutron XLink500s which have an elegant satellite integration.

Hard to beat robustness of Campbell. 1 or 2 trips to reset a more hobby grade logger/modem and you've spent the money the Campbell would have been the first time around.

True on the CR1000's. Its why I still use them on a couple of our buoys. However, we just started using Blues Wireless with one of our custom Esp32 boards. It is capable of over the air code updates using cellular. It seems to work well so far, but I admit have not done extensive field testing yet.
