If you’re forgetful and constantly lose your keys or wallet, you’re traveling and want to keep track of your luggage, or you’re a paranoid fur parent who wants to know your pet’s whereabouts all the time, then a Bluetooth tracker is a quick and simple solution that ensures you’ll never misplace an item (or animal!) ever again. This tiny device can help you locate lost items using Bluetooth Low Energy or by tapping into large networks to connect and share data with your smartphone so you can pinpoint where your item is.
Nowadays, you can find various Bluetooth trackers in the market offering different features. Here are some of the
best options to help you on your hunt for one.
Best for iPhone users: Apple AirTag
From Apple PH Official Website
The biggest advantage of the Apple tracker is its ultra-wideband technology, which enables precision tracking and
allows you to get turn-by-turn directions so you can pin down your missing item. Paired with their Find My network,
a lost AirTag will be able to ping its location to Apple’s iCloud servers whenever it detects an Apple device
nearby without notifying the owners of those devices! The downside is you’ll have to buy an accessory to be
able to attach it to your stuff, and you can’t ping your phone using the AirTag. Still, with so many Apple
devices in the world, it’s your best bet if you have an iPhone. Buy it here for P1,890.
Best for Samsung users: Samsung SmartTag 2
From Samsung PH Official Website
Samsung has updated its tracker to offer both Bluetooth Low Energy and ultra-wideband tech. If you want a tracker
that seamlessly works with your Galaxy smartphone, then this is the one for you. It has an IP68 rating which makes
it water-resistant and a large, metal-reinforced cutout that makes it easy to secure items. Buy it here for P1,690.
Versatile tracker for iOS and Android users: Tile Pro
From Tile Official Website
While the Tile doesn’t have ultra-wideband connectivity, it still has an impressive 400-foot range for locating
lost items. It also utilizes smartphones with the Tile and Life360 apps—around 80 million users around the
world—to act as incognito locators. The Tile Pro is compatible with Apple but supposedly works best with
Android devices, but you’ll have to subscribe to their app to enable separation alerts. Buy it here for
$28.95 (around P1,623).
AirTag alternative: eufy Security by Anker SmartTrack Link
From eufy Philippines Official
Website
This tracker is compatible with Apple’s Find My network, so you’ll be able to locate your item in no
time. If someone finds your lost object, they can scan the tracker and contact you via QR code. Unlike the AirTag,
you can use it to make your phone ring, plus it’s water-resistant, too. Buy it here
for P1,145.
Another AirTag alternative: Momax PINTAG
From Momax Official Website
Users can’t help but rave about this cheaper option that’s Apple-certified and has global support using
the Find My network. Get Left-Behind Alerts when your items are too far away from your phone and enable Lost Mode so
finders can get your contact information using an NFC-enabled phone. The caveat: You’ll also need an accessory
to affix it to your things. Buy it here
for P990.
A Bluetooth tracker can give you peace of mind, especially in dire situations like losing a suitcase or, god forbid,
your furbaby. But if you’re at home and panicking over your missing keys, make sure your devices are powered
up with a fiber-fast Internet connection like PLDT Home’s Fiber Plus
Plans so you can find your things quickly inside your home!
