How it differs from its neighbors

Minelab's GPX 6000 is the closest model on paper. It also ships with two coils, a monoloop and a DD, and weighs 4.6 lb. Minelab rates its coil waterproof to 3.3 ft (1 m), and Minelab gives no battery life in hours.

The SDC 2300 is a pulse induction model you can submerge, to 10 ft (3 m). It weighs 5.1 lb on an 8-inch monoloop and folds to 15.7 in (40 cm).

Garrett's own Goldmaster 24k takes the VLF road: 48 kHz, a 0 to 99 target ID and 3.4 lb at most. Our VLF vs PI page explains the trade.
