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.
