Another year has passed. And, yes, the older you get, the faster it seems to do so!
This time, I made the choices based on products available in the U.S. Most of these are also available internationally, either on their native sites (e.g., Amazon), or can be shipped from the U.S.
So, let's get into it:
Air Tracker Smart Tags Android & iOS-4 Packs,Dual System Bluetooth
Amazon $28.72

- Secure Encryption for Privacy Protection:IP67 Water & Dust Resistance - Replaceable Battery 67-rated dustproof and waterproof design withstands rain, spills, and brief submersion (up to 3 ft / 1m deep), making it ideal for travel and outdoor use. (…features a user-replaceable coin-shaped CR2032 battery).
- Easy Operation for All: No complicated installation steps are required. Just turn on the mobile phone Bluetooth, download the corresponding app, and follow the guide to complete the tracker pairing for use. Even the elderly and children can easily master the basic item-finding operation.
