I am in the market to purchase some additional AirTags. I have been using four 1st generation AirTags for a couple of years and have been generally pleased with them. However, I am considering purchasing Ugreen trackers instead as they are substantially less expensive than AirTags. Any opinions on which you think I should purchase? I might need more than 4 so I am thinking about hedging my bets and getting both. Also, for those of you who are using 2nd generation AirTags, what is your opinion on them? Please share your thoughts. ![]()
I’d only use a tracker with ultra wide band in it (what lets an Airtag arrow point within sub-inch precision in real time as you move.) I don’t believe UGREEN offers this. UWB is nice if you have trouble finding things in your house or if you want to be able to pinpoint something on a lost-and-found counter. It doesn’t matter for longer distance tracking (did I leave the iPad at home or is it somewhere in my baggage.)
I have a set of Ugreen, bought them because of the price. Works really well, updates quick and is always online. The beeping is enough for me to locate them when I just displace something “locally”.
To be transparent I have never tried normal Airtags, so I might not know what I am missing. ![]()
If you need accessories, AirTags probably has the largest variety available.
I purchased 2nd Gen AirTags to use with the Elevation Lab AA battery pack which lives in the trunk of my car.
