We have Apple AirTags for several items that we own. These trackers are very easy to set up and the battery life is quite long. We even added AirTags to our luggage so that we can check to see if our checked bags have made it onto our plane and whether they are to headed to Baggage Claim once we arrive at our destination. These can be used to keep track of many different kinds of items.

Its a fantastic way to keep track of your things if you have an Apple device or devices. Its small enough to fit in discreet areas of a bag or other high value item without adding weight or needing to use some glue sticker to attach it.
I have two main gripes with this:
1) Connection refresh is SLOW. The frequency at which AirTags ping location is....well....infrequent. Obviously it matters how many Apple devices are nearby, but you will see from several Youtube testing videos that a location ping can take anywhere from 3 minutes all the way to 15!!! 15 minutes is a long time for a thief to take your device somewhere, look for and find an airtag, ditch it, and take the valuable. Battery life is estimated at 12 months. I would happily sacrifice 3 months of battery life if it meant AirTags pinged location immediately at the press of a button in the FindMy app or at least a steady every 5 minutes.
2) Form factor requires that you buy accessories to be able to attach to anything that doesnt already have a pocket. Tile has a handy keyring hole on most of its products. This allows you to attach it quickly and easily to something that doesnt have a secure pocket, like your keys. Because this is just a round disc, you HAVE to buy extra accessories to be able to attach it to something. Apple just cant help their corporate greed.
The last gripe I have is the inability to share location of an Airtag with a family member. But I understand that is being changed in iOS17. Thank goodness, because that was also a huge problem. If you put an AirTag in a family luggage, having only one person be able to use the FindMy was completely impractical. What if that person has to go get the rental car across the street while the other person gets the bags? Well too bad. Thats just one example I thought of but the point stays. This was a real limiting issue of the usability of these AirTags but now that its being addressed in iOS17, Im really looking forward to being able to share locations with family members or trusted friends when necessary.
Overall, despite my gripes, this works fantastically well when you need it to find that thing in your house or if you left a bag at school or something. So long as you didnt lose something out in an empty field (with no apple devices for it to ping off of), this is a must have for Apple users security and peace of mind.
If Apple releases a gen 2 with better location refresh/ping coupled with the iOS17 update, I will definitely be buying more of those.

Easy to setup and use and it synchronizes seamlessly with your Apple ecosystem of products. I hid one in my car in case it ever gets stolen or if I forgot where I parked. It's a cheap, great workaround for putting a GPS on your vehicle. No complaints about it!

These have proven to do exactly what I needed them for. They have also saved me money on other more specialized tracking tags, because they work just as well for the purpose. Good product!

Love these AirTags! We use these on an international trip and was very helpful to make sure the luggage came with us! We asked to put these in our bags when we were walking around and doing tours. Havanese with us was a great piece of mind.

Concept is great, never had to actually use it yet for something I’ve lost or gotten stolen.
After getting “tagged” one night when my vehicle was parked outside a restaurant I decided I was going to start hiding them in my vehicles ect. Just in case, the feature seems to work great when you walk away from it and it detects it is not at your home, pin seems dead on so for the price these are great for piece of mind.

For anyone that's thoroughly embedded in Apple's ecosystem, these work quite well for keeping track of miscellaneous items. I have them on my keys, backpack, and luggage primarily. I've played around a little bit with the Find-My tracking and they generally work pretty alright, fortunately haven't had to use them for real yet but I do misplace my keys periodically so like having that peace of mind. Absolutely essential to find airtag holder accessories to keep them attached to your keys and such though if you can't keep them in a bag pocket or something.

Amazing I know tile has some extra features then it like a keychain hole and slimmer but this right here is perfect and no one can compete with Apple since as long as a iphone passes near it in a radius you will get a exact location especially if your phones bluetooth is off you will be good since the tag itself counts on other people’s Apple devices to give it a signal! 10/10 for the prouduct if you think about it you don’t really need a case if you’re putting it in a bagpack or suitcase just throw it in there like a quarter trust me you will be good I have a small zipper I just leave it in their on my wallet.

The Apple AirTag is a game-changer for keeping track of essentials. Setting it up is a breeze, and it's perfect for items like wallets or keys. Snagging it on sale at Best Buy was a bonus. The peace of mind it provides in knowing you can easily locate your belongings is invaluable, making it a worthwhile addition to anyone prone to misplacing essentials.

These Apple AirTags are exactly what I needed for several reasons. I always misplace my wallet around the house, and I am left on searches, sometimes an hour or more to find it. Now I can locate it quickly. I have e-bikes that are at a high risk of theft. Again, the AirTags have me covered. From my wife's purse, our keys, material protection, the Apple AirTags have our back with a reliable and precise way to locate our belongings.
Easy to set up and use, and at a low cost for what they do, AirTags are a terrific value and will give you piece of mind. They get and deserve 5 stars from me.

The best value technology purchase that I have made in years. Period. I will NEVER travel without my AirTags again located in our luggage. On a recent trip overseas, and with the disarray that the airlines have been in since Covid, our flights from the beginning of our trip until the end were cancelled, or delayed. On one leg, I knew our luggage was not going to be on the flight with us (after speaking twice to airline agents about our luggage location and being assured they would be on our flight) because I could see they were over half a mile away from our aircraft we were boarding. Upon arrival at the next destination, I was able to see they were still back at the departure airport. I showed the local agent where my luggage was on my IPhone and was assured they would arrive on a later flight. I was able to see my luggage moving from the luggage storage building to the flghtline, and tracked them upon landing at the destination airport. Before even getting a call I drove to the airport, went to the counter and told the airline agent that my bags had arrived and that they were in the back. They asked if I had been called and I told them that I had not been called but had AirTags in our bags and pointed in the direction that they were located in the back. Sure enough, they located my bags and I left with them in hand. I LOVE THIS TECHNOLOGY. Thank you Apple and Best Buy. Forget the credit card jingle, now it's 'AirTag - don't leave home without them'.
