Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 - 1 Pack - Black

We brought this as we were moving house and our cat likes to go on 5 day adventures. Exceeded our expectations, simple set up through the smart things app, consistent tracking and lost tag mode a plus, slips right through a collar and not massive or heavy for our 3kg cat compared to proper cat trackers, although occasionally will get food on it, luckily its water resistant. The alert tone is loud but not loud enough to scare the cat, varible volume is a bonus and you can also tone your phone from the tracker.

A major upgrade from our cheap tracker that would beep randomly like the crocodile in Peter Pan and was eventually drowned in their bowl of water. Found the runaway multiple times with this tracker and it even stayed on the collar once when the cat decided to leave it in a bush. It is limited to bluetooth and the bluetooth of others around you which is fine if you live in a built up area. Buying a second one for the old cat and definitely a fantastic option for cat tracking.

I have some Samsung appliances controled by SmartThings so that I bought this one. But I did not know this Smart Tag is only supported by Galaxy devices. I have smart phones but they are not Samsung Galaxy so that it cannot be set up with my phones. I realized it after the purchase.

Lets start with the negatives, this device can only be used with Samsung devices - not all android devices, and even worse, only newer Samsung devices that Samsung have approved to use the SmartThings app can. The final negative, is that the Samsung find device network is voluntarily opt-in, its not enabled on all Samsung's by default (like Apple does with their find device network on iOS devices), this makes the number of devices tracking these tags massively reduced compared to the Apple Airtag.

Now on with the good things, device is much better shaped than Airtag for putting onto pet collars, keyrings, etc. The battery is use replaceable which is great, Airtags get thrown out when they go flat, SmartTags can easily have their battery replaced. Smart tags have pretty good range, I have connected to it over a hundred meters away before when having dropped something in park (it was invisible far away in long grass but phone still connected). Devices are very rugged, one of mine was dropped on a road (cat's collar came off in a cat fight), it had been run over (breaking the collar) but survived and has been used for months afterwards. They are very water and dirt proof. SmartTag2 attached to my cats collar has been dragged through mud, sand, cat food, and was getting dunked in water every time she drank. When time to replace the battery, it was quite difficult to open because of all the grotty schmu jammed around the battery tray, but the seal had worked and kept all that from getting into the device. When I was on holiday my cat didn't like the person feeding it (or missed me), and went missing. She was found after having walked 8.5KM from my house, with the help of SmartTag2 on collar. Absolutely would NOT have been found without the tag, wouldn't have had a clue to be looking that far away. Although I only got location updates every few hours on the tag (seen by other Samsung devices) when the cat was missing, it was enough to know the rough area, and the minute I got a new ping several friends and family members converged on the location to look for (and found) the cat. The tag is quite large, but its not very heavy, my cat didn't mind wearing it. After my cat sadly passed away, another cat now wears it, and it also doesn't mind it. (I have 2, one black, one white).

Perfect tag to make sure your items are where you expect them. The hole in the centre is handy if you wish to mount it to something such as a vehicle. Easy to use with the Smart Things app. Perfect tag to make sure your items are where you expect them. The hole in the centre is handy if you wish to mount it to something such as a vehicle.

So easy to set up, and great not just for using in our luggage, but a quick squeeze and I can locate my phone easily if I have left it on mute. Also grat attached my work keys. So so handy the design of it with the finger hole. Husband has airtags, and this is so much easier - not having to unscrew a slippery disk to reset. I love it!!

While perhaps not as widely covered as Apple Air Tags, these are certainly good enough for our needs and the Smart Things Find app works well. While perhaps not as widely covered as Apple Air Tags, these are certainly good enough for our needs and the Smart Things Find app works well.

After a lost bag at an airport held us up for 2 hours, I bought two of these tags for easy tracking. Work great. After a lost bag at an airport held us up for 2 hours, I bought two of these tags for easy tracking. Work great.

It works well for Samsung phones. Happy to get it on sale It works well for Samsung phones. Happy to get it on sale

Works pretty well as a cat tracker in suburban Auckland. I can't see exactly where my cat is but it gives me an idea on where they were in the last few minutes to few hours. Once in range, it will start tracking the signal to give you more of any idea. Works well for me because I moved 1km away to a new house and one cat keeps returning to the old street. GPS trackers only have a few days battery life and I don't want to be monitoring him that closely. PB should sell the sleeve for it to fit on a cat harness.

This is the accessory you should have for your smart tracker, fits well and offers good protection, recommended. This is the accessory you should have for your smart tracker, fits well and offers good protection, recommended.
