I tried a solar-powered AirTag alternative that lasts 2 years - and looks like my Apple Watch
This finder tag has excellent range, and it's built for the outdoors.
I recently tested a unique solar-powered AirTag alternative called the Ugreen Finder Pro. This tag boasts a two-year lifespan, a sleek design reminiscent of the Apple Watch Ultra, and an IP68 rating for durability against dirt, dust, and even submersion in water up to three feet for 30 minutes. Unlike standard Bluetooth trackers, the Finder Pro is exclusively compatible with Apple's Find My ecosystem.
The device features a solar panel on its surface that replenishes the internal rechargeable battery, extending its longevity beyond typical tracker devices. Under ideal outdoor conditions, the Finder Pro demonstrates a range of 85 to 100 feet (25 to 30 meters), while indoors, its range reduces to 50 feet (15 meters). Its Bluetooth range, while not as impressive as Apple's AirTag, remains respectable considering its solar-powered capabilities.
Despite its limitations, the Finder Pro's robust build and compatibility with the Apple ecosystem make it a compelling option for those seeking a solar-powered tracking solution. Its design and water resistance add to its appeal, making it a noteworthy addition to the market of Bluetooth tracking devices.
