The best Bluetooth trackers of 2024

If you've ever lost your phone, keys, wallet, or, yes, even your dog, a Bluetooth tracker is what you need to keep tabs on all the items you can't live without.
Bluetooth trackers are also exceptionally easy to set up, and even easier to use.
Our pick for the best Bluetooth tracker overall is the Apple AirTag, thanks to its precision tracking, replaceable battery, and the access to the Find My network.
Read on for other top Bluetooth trackers you can buy.
If you want a long-distance tracker, the Tile Pro's 400-foot range is fantastic.
If you need real-time location tracking, the JioBit Smart Tag is a wise choice for parents.
32. 400-foot tracking range, IP67 water protection.
35. Compact size fits in most wallets, 200-foot tracking range.
130. Always-on connectivity, real-time tracking.
When shopping for a Bluetooth tracker, the main factor you should consider is compatibility.
For keys and smaller items, coin-shaped trackers will do the trick.
Choose this Bluetooth tracker.... If you want.
Best overall for precise location tracking and a battery that'll last a year.
Long-distance tracking with a range of 400 feet and a loud alarm.
Real-time location tracking and a panic alert button.
A Samsung-compatible tracker that can double as a smart home button.
Most Bluetooth trackers come with batteries that can either be swapped out or recharged.
Chipolo, for one, will sell you a new Card Spot at 50% off when you trade in your existing tracker.
Next, you connect it through the manufacturer's app to enable location tracking, which you can view on your phone.
Bluetooth trackers have a limited range with an average of 200 to 300 feet.
