What does someone think about Skylock or Bitlock. They are "a bit" expensive (around 220NZD), but manufacturers promise almost unbreakable system?
What do you think? Has someone got this locks here?
I'm worrying, because almost each my trip I see some notices, like these (on images).
Thanks for any help guys!

There's nothing "unbreakable" here. Their locks can be physically defeated like any other U-lock, and probably hacked into as well. Car keyless locks and ignition are vulnerable to hacking, and I have no reason to believe the locks you mentioned are fundamentally any better in that regard. Electrical lock/unlock feature makes the mechanism more complicated, and battery dependend.
If it were me, I'd buy a high quality normal U-lock from Kryptonite or Abus. They lack the coolness, but they're as solid as U-locks come these days.
