The AirTag is the tracker boss, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best Bluetooth tracking device for you.

I’ve lost my wallet — still in the back pocket of the pants I threw into my hamper — and my keys, forgetting that I tossed them between the cushions of my couch. I have an exceptional ability to misplace most small things. But thanks to Bluetooth trackers, I don’t really lose anything anymore. Or if I do, I can easily find it.
The One Point ($28), which Chipolo released earlier this year, is a Bluetooth tracker that uses Google’s relatively new crowdsourced Find My Device network of over 1 billion Android devices to help you easily find your tagged keys, wallet, luggage, backpack, car and other items you might lose track of. For October’s Prime Day sales on Tuesday and Wednesday, you can get a three-tracker bundle for 15% off the price of buying two key fobs and one card separately.
Taking advantage of Google’s tracking network means besides using your own phone to locate the One Point — with the Find My Device app — you can tap into all the other Android devices around you, from friends and strangers alike (completely privately), to better track your item, no matter where it is or how far from the item you are. How does the Chipolo One Point tracker work?
The tiny plastic tracker, which weighs relatively nothing, is about an inch and a half in diameter, roughly the size of those old Eisenhower dollar coins (I’m showing my age).
