Throughout much of last week, Amazon had been celebrating its big annual summer sales event. What has come to be known as Prime Day is a excellent opportunity for consumers to save butt loads across tons of different kinds of products—everything from PC parts to smart TVs to kitchen appliances to toys. If you forgot to put it in your calendar this year and let it slip on by, know that you haven’t really missed out just yet.
Amazon still has lots of cool stuff on sale well-past the end of the event. For instance, you can right now scoop up a four-pack of Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag2 Bluetooth trackers for a whopping 48% off. At nearly half price, the set of four trackers have come from their usual price of $100 to just $52. That makes them only $13 a pop.
Smart tags like these can be literal lifesavers. Samsung Galaxy’s are already equipped with a Find app that allows you to locate your expensive devices like your phone, earbuds, or smart watch if they ever go missing. It can be super handy, but the problem is it only works with things that have a chip it in with some from of location tracking. If your purse vanishes, chances are it’s lost forever.
Tag It. Track It. Find It.
That is, unless you have a Bluetooth tracker. The Galaxy SmartTag2 lets you equip any of your belongings with the functionality of a smart devices location tracking. Just stick one of these in your purse, backpack, wallet, or suitcase, and you’ll be able to keep tabs on it wherever it goes. You’ll now be able to use the Samsung Find app to identify its precise location.
Sometimes when we lose something, we don’t really mean we “lost” it. It’s just misplaced. Like, you know your car keys are somewhere in the apartment, but you didn’t set them down where you usually do. They might be in a bag you forgot you just used, the pocket of a jacket in the closet, or the pocket of a pair of shorts now in the laundry basket.
In cases like this, you can switch to Search Nearby mode. The Find app will provide instructions to your item’s location with a compass view. And if even that it not enough to find it, you can then ring your Galaxy SmartTag2—having it send out an audible signal. I used to make a joke in college whenever my roommate would misplace his keys, I’d ask him, “Have you tried calling them?” Well, jokes on me because that is now just a thing you can do.
