So I got a new (2nd hand) motor but it only had 1 key and fob (need to get a spare).

Unlike most of you I am sure, I have a bad habit of mislaying my keys in the house (I know - put them on a hook blah blah blah).

So invested in a galaxy smarttag2 and it is great - I can now find keys in the flat easily. The tag works both ways - I can find phone using tag provided phone is not turned off (rare I leave it off permanently, and I keep it charged every day)

I went one stage further and bought a credit card sized smart tag2 (from ReFind) and it works fine but its sound is rather low. I then decided to put the tag in my wallet but could I find the blooming wallet?

Turned flat upside down, (slightly panicking that I had lost it but like all things it was hidden in plain sight LOL).
Proof I could have done with the tracker!

One neat feature is its "warn you if you leave it behind". I rarely (intentionally) go out without my wallet but like all silver fox gentlemen, how many times have I got to a shop and left wallet at home. Admittedly with google phone, not such a big deal these days.

Of course if I went out without phone AND wallet, then really old age is creeping up faster than I would like LOL.

Apple Smart Tags are alo pretty neat. Have them in the passport wallet, car, basically anything worth anything.
I also like the warnings that Apple gives me (Standard feature) when my phone or iPad is left behind, once I get 4 house lengths down the street.
I don’t own anything Samsung anymore, did have a tablet but I gave it away. Not a fan. However my mother has a Samsung phone so I am thinking of getting her some smart tags for her purse. She left it in a store a few weeks ago and went into a major panik.

It’s not very convenient.
