Petme Tender EtripTag Global Positioning Device GPS Finder Works with Find My app and Authorized MFI Find Anything

UPDATE: Two things have come up while using this. One is for sure the device and the other may or may not be.1) The battery really only lasts ~6 months (as I notice now is in the spec). This is quite a bit shorter than other tags I've used. Most last a year-ish.2) After the battery died (I didn't notice) and I tried to reactivate it 2 months later, it cannot be found. It powers up (noises) but the Apple system can't find it. This basically kills the device. I don't know if this is a glitch due to being offline or an outright failure.Sure, Apple's tags are well executed and created an ecosystem. But these third party tags are adding good alternatives to the system. Unlike the original, this has a loop to be hooked directly on your keyring or other attachment point instead of requiring a bulky, expensive 'case' to do the same. Also a nice form factor. Narrow and thin. The only small downside is common to all non-Apple tags: It cannot do the hyper local finding tech down to the last few feet. It will get you nearby and then you can use the sound function to locate it.

I got this to try as an alternative to Apple's AirTags. Now, why might I want that? Well, for starters this can just be attached to a key ring with no extra accessories required. Second, it doesn't look like anything special, so it is less likely to scream "I am attached to something valuable". Third, it won't be immediately discarded by a thief as they might not realize it is a tracker. Other than that, it works great so far.
