Does this also repel killer whales???

No. The magnet in the band repels only sharks and rays. These fish have electro receptors all around their faces and gills. The strong magnet over stimulates these receptors, and therefore is an uncomfortably overwhelming sensation for the shark. Killer whales are mammals and don't have these receptors sites.

What's the difference between Sharkbanz and Sharkbanz 2 for the price difference?

The Sharkbanz was the original production model. The Sharbanz 2 is an updated model. I can only comment about comfort and appearance. The newer version, the band is softer, more pliable and comfortable, and easier to fasten and unfasten. The shape has been slightly modified so it fits much better around your ankle. I would not buy the older version because it just represents "old stock" that has not previously sold.

If you wear a race chip on the left ankle and this band on the right, would it interfere with race chip?

Luis, Great question. The real answer is only found in determining if the race chip is effected by magnetic polarity. If you have a compass near sharkbanz it will displace the polarity of the compass causing the needle to spin. I would confirm with race officials and bring the sharkbanz to a judge and test before the race. Hope this helps.
