Anyone who struggles to keep track of their keys, luggage and other small items will find smart tags to be very useful little gadgets. Smart tags make it possible to track the valuable items they’re attached to from your phone or tablet, and they are perfect for anyone who is frequently on the go. Buying multiple smart tags to clip onto various devices can quickly add up, but there are always opportunities to save on them. For example, Amazon just brought down the price of the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 to just $16 — a new low price for this product and almost half off the usual $30 price tag. There is one important caveat though: Amazon won’t ship the smart tags until April.
In light of potential price increases ahead, now could be a good time to take advantage of this deal if you have a compatible Samsung phone or tablet and have been wanting to pick up some smart tags anyway.
The Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag2 is a Bluetooth tracker that sports a convenient loop you can use to attach it to the item you want to keep track of. Its IP67 waterproof rating means you don’t have to worry about the tracker malfunctioning even when the weather isn’t ideal.
