Review on 🔍 TrackR Bravo: Bluetooth Tracking Device & Phone Finder in Rose Gold - iOS/Android Compatible, Gen 3 (1 Pack) by Walter Martin

First off, I've been using the leading competitor's Bluetooth tracker for over a year, so I know a thing or two about this type of tracker. The TrackR Bravo tracker appears to be comparable to the competitor's tracker. Both use Bluetooth LE for location service when in range and for crowdsourcing when out of range. They don't always work reliably, and you need to have an app on your phone for them to work properly. What sets the TrackR Bravo apart for me are some of the features that the competition lacks, namely a user-replaceable battery, a rugged build, and Alexa integration. The TrackR Bravo is relatively small and light. It has a removable battery and aluminum outer casing, making it more durable than the competition, only lasting a year with its non-replaceable battery (the app keeps prompting you to buy a new replacement tracker afterwards). Given the Bravo's short ownership time, it's too early to say how long the battery will last. One good thing about this is that the app has a low battery indicator so you know when it's time to change the battery. Another nice feature is that as long as the app is running, you can find your phone by asking Alexa to find it. You can also press a button on the tracker to find your phone, which is pretty standard anyway. However, Bravo is not without flaws. The most important thing for me is the volume of the Bravo call. It's very quiet and barely audible in moderately noisy environments. Good luck with the bell to find your item when you're on a train. Overall I like the TrackR bravo. It's far from ideal. However, it works quite well and the app seems stable and easy to use. If you're looking for a Bluetooth tracker to tag an important item, it's worth a try.
