Years later with Thile.

I recently deleted my Tile Sport as the yearly battery reminder also reminded me of its biggest problem. non-replaceable battery. To be fair, the Tile Sport is more stylish and durable, as well as being water resistant; none of which are necessarily related to Rinex. However, the mentioned battery issue and the occasional connectivity issues made me reconsider my decision. Rinex has a subtle design with rounded thin edges. I would go for orange, there was only white. i think i'm ok See image for size comparison with (larger and slightly thicker) Tile Sport. The case has openings for speakers and a removable cover that protects it from water. Sounds worse than it should in most cases. I have it attached to my car keys and the key fob is unlikely to be exposed to water. If you plan on kayaking etc. stick to the tile. ;-) Pairing (iOS12) worked fine after downloading the dedicated app. Pairing is done in the app and does not require official Bluetooth pairing in settings. It also allows other devices running the app to record the device and eventually find your lost device in droves. (The tile has startled me several times in airports when it notifies me that my device has been found somewhere else (even though it's in my pocket). One smart tool is the remote shutter release feature for your phone's camera. You need to launch the app and fire it up You can do this using the camera from within the app. I think there may be a few occasions where this could come in handy. I don't usually use it after the first playtime. Finally, the biggest selling point is the removable battery (type 2032). new and can't comment on it yet but wins if the battery lasts about a year and can be swapped out without buying a brand new tracker.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
