Boat 'TAG' tracker launched for Android users in India: Price, features

Boat has launched 'TAG' – a tracker that can help users find their lost belongings. Losing valuables like laptops, phones or wallets can quickly ruin a trip as misplacing essential items simply isn't an option. Boat’s TAG comes in as a geo-tracking device designed to help Android users keep track of their belongings.

The Boat 'TAG' tracker is priced at Rs 1,299 and is available for purchase on Boat official website, as well as popular e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart. It can also be found on quick-commerce platforms like Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart and Zepto, and at select retail stores.

The Boat 'TAG' tracker is a small, lightweight device that can be easily attached to valuables such as wallets, keys, luggage or even pets. It integrates seamlessly with Google's Find My Device network, allowing users to locate their tagged items in semi-real-time. If an item is lost, users can simply mark it as “lost” in the Find My Device app, and the TAG will provide location updates and directions to help retrieve it.
In addition to location tracking, the TAG also features a loud 80dB alarm that can be triggered remotely to help pinpoint a misplaced item within a close range. This is particularly useful for finding items that may have been lost in a cluttered room or bag.
Boat says that the company has prioritised user privacy with the TAG. The device can detect and alert users to the presence of unknown trackers nearby, helping prevent unauthorised tracking attempts.
Designed for long-term use, the Boat 'TAG' tracker boasts an impressive battery life of up to one year. It utilises Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, eliminating the need for a SIM card and simplifying the setup process. The TAG also features a user-replaceable battery, further extending its lifespan and making it a cost-effective solution for tracking valuables.
