Motorola’s Moto Tag joins the small but growing list of trackers designed to work with Google’s Find My Device network. It comes with the features you’d expect from a tracker, including Ultra Wide Band (UWB) support for precision tracking.
Alongside the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra and Razr 50motorola also announced the Moto Tag, its first tracker compatible with the Google Find My Device network. The new tracker connects to a device via Bluetooth and can help users track personal belongings such as bags and wallets. Motorola has also added a nifty feature that isn’t available on other trackers.
The Moto Tag has a round design similar to that of the Apple AirTag (currently available on Amazon for $25), but unlike Apple’s tracker which comes in white, it comes in green and dark gray/blue. The design similarity is intentional, as Motorola says the Moto Tag was designed to work with most existing third-party accessories (i.e. AirTag accessories) on the market. The tracker, which has an IP67 water and dust resistance rating, connects via Bluetooth and should work with most Android devices.
Pairing is easy as it supports Google Fast Pair. There’s also a companion app called Moto Tag, which allows users to change the tag name, adjust the tracker’s volume, and check battery life. As for the battery, the Moto Tag uses a CR2032 battery which can last up to a year before needing to be replaced.
While competing Android trackers like the Chipolo ONE Point only work with Bluetooth, the Moto Tag also supports ultrawideband for precision tracking. So if you have a phone that supports ultra-wideband, like the Pixel 8 Pro (currently discounted to $745 at Amazon), it should lead you to the exact location of your lost item.
In addition to helping you find lost items, Motorola has added a second, equally useful feature. With a multifunctional button, the tracker can act as a camera remote control for any Android phone, saving you the hassle of using a timer to take photos. Owners can also press the button to make their misplaced phone make a loud sound.
Motorola did not reveal the sale price of the Moto Tag, but indicated that it would be available in the coming months in select markets.
