When travelling abroad, there are a few instances where you will be separated from your luggage as you make the journey overseas. This can be quite anxiety-inducing for some people, who may want extra peace of mind when they are jetting off abroad.
If you want the added security of being able to track where your belongings are, then we have the must-have travel gadget for you. While you may be booking your holidays and starting to pick out items of clothing suitable for the hotter weather, we suggest adding this Bluetooth Tracker to your shopping list.
Amazon has slashed the price of the popular Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 Bluetooth Tracker, which is currently one of retail giant’s top choices. The SmartTag2 allows you to monitor the exact location of your suitcase – and it’s currently better than half price.

Normally retailing at £34.99 on Amazon – and currently £34 on the Samsung website – you can pick up the Galaxy SmartTag2 for just £14.89, a whopping 57 per cent saving.
While a must-have item for your upcoming travels, the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 can also be used to track your frequently misplaced items, such as your car keys and even your pets.
Boasting a lifespan of up to 500 days, the Samsung SmartTag2 is also water resistant which means your items can be securely tracked no matter the weather. The impressive lifespan can also be extended by 40 per cent by activating the power saving mode, reports the Express.

The SmartTag2 makes it easy to find your missing items as you simply need to activate the Search Nearby function and you will receive instant intuitive directions via the Compass View. If this doesn’t help, you can apply the Ring Your Tag feature to get the tracker to audibly alert you or others to its location.
You can buy the individual black SmartTag2 for the reduced price of £14.89, while the white version received a 58 per cent discount, dropping the price slightly lower to £14.80. A four pack, featuring two trackers of each colour, can also be bought for the reduced price £48.98 (RRP £109.99).
The SmartTag2 currently has 4.3 star rating, and over 5,000 Amazon shoppers have purchased the device in the last 30 days. One happy shopper said: “This is a true competitor to the Apple AirTag. I am finally happy to have an Android alternative to a Bluetooth Tracker.
“Real-time updating works wonders and it is very reliable to update its location. This is good, so I can see exactly where my luggage is. Nearby Search works pretty well in trying to find my product if it is nearby me.”

Another shopper added: “Bought this as an upgrade from the original version. Good choice, great battery life and powerful. Picks up at a greater distance than the original. Easier to clip to items and full UWB. I will use this on holiday for my case and the rest of the time for my car.”
A third five-star reviewer also chimed in: “So handy and a nice compact size. I’ve bought 5 for my whole family cause they all saw how much time it saved me looking for my keys and phone and wanted to do the same. Battery change is easy. App is easy to use. I’d definitely recommend.”
However, one shopper bought the device to help track their beloved cat, but unfortunately they were left disappointed. They wrote: “I got this for my cat so I know where she is at all times, but it doesn’t track her once she’s more than 20 seconds away from me.
“I watched her walk into the woods by my house that is a 15 second walk from my garden, then I tried to track her and it wouldn’t refresh to show where she was… An hour later I saw her on the field in front of my house and the app finally updated saying she was home.”
While another had an issue with the alarm, sharing: “Originally, the loud alarm in the device worked, however recently I wasn’t able to get it to work. I hope Samsung fixes this, but until then the sound was great and very loud.”
