That means an Apple AirTag to the rescue, right? Not so fast. Right now Samsung deals are abundant as part of a Spring/Tax Day seasonal deal event. And that means an excellent deal on the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2. We’ve the absolute best deal on the device over at Amazon, actually, with the white version being marked down 43% to $17. That’s a savings of $13 off of the original $30. Tap the button below to grab yours now or keep reading to see why the Galaxy Smart Tag 2 is actually the smart object tracker to beat.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2

The Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2 is shaped sort of like a tag label, stays powered for 500+ days, and has an IP67 rating for nearly-perfect water and dust protection. It uses Samsung’s SmartThings app to track your objects from a distance an up close, too — you can get the app to force the tag to make an audible signal to find your keys, even when they’re buried in the cushions or are hiding under that cracked-open book. Loud atmosphere or hard of hearing? There’s also a compass director to help you find your gear.

Now, all of this might seem somewhat familiar if you’re knowledgeable of the Apple AirTag, a product that’s name recognition eclipses the Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2’s by miles. (As an aside, I’ve been writing about AirTags for years and years now, and was surprised as could be that Amazon tells us the Galaxy Smart Tag 2 has over 6,000 sales in the past month.) But how do the AirTag and Smart Tag 2 compare? We’ve found that it differs somewhat by country, as different countries have different levels of the tracking network’s devices being used. As per our investigator, “I’ve found that the performance varies considerably. In the US, Europe, and the Middle East, I found that the Galaxy Tag outperformed the AirTag in terms of reliability and consistency, and the location history feature is something that Apple’s tracker doesn’t have.”

All of this means that you’ll probably prefer this to an Apple AirTag if you live, like most of our readers, in the US or Europe. If you’re from India, however, you may prefer the Apple Airtag.

If you’re wanting to get this deal be sure to tap the button below. Right now you can get a Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag 2 in white for just $17 at Amazon. That’s a savings of $13 off of the original $30 and an excellent deal.

Snag a classy, $185 Citizen hybrid smartwatch with this 47% discount
The white version of the Citizen CZ Smart hybrid smartwatch.

If you want a smartwatch with old school charm, you can get a hybrid. No, it's not a vehicle type, but rather a watch that combines analog features with digital smarts. When you compare an Apple Watch against hybrid watches, you can really see that there are many advantages to hybrids. If you're intrigued, you might want to get started with this deal we've found on the Citizen CZ Smart Gen 1 Hybrid. The white version of the smartwatch is discounted to just $185 after a $165 discount from the usual $350. You can also get the blue version for $203. Tap the buttons below to see the watches for yourself or keep reading to see why this is the smartwatch deal to beat if you're interested in hybrids.

Why you should buy the Citizen CZ Smart Gen 1 Hybrid
With the Citizen CZ Smart Gen 1 Hybrid, you're getting the best of both worlds. In the old world, you're getting a watch designed by Citizen, a well-known watchmaker, with an elegant case and real watch hands. Behind those hands lies a digital display and the smarts of the watch. It has all of the features that you want from a smartwatch, such as a weather display and heart rate monitor, as well as some fitness features like calories burnt and an activity tracker. The Citizen CZ Smart Gen 1 Hybrid smartwatch has a 15 day battery life, so you can easily use features like sleep monitoring night after night without needing to use that time for recharging instead. It's worth noting that, when this watch was first released, we thought that the CZ Smart features were enough to make hybrids good, but the (not-on-sale) original price was too high. Today's deals change the game and make the Citizen CZ Smart really worthy of your attention.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
When we made our Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 review, we were happy with its quick performance and nice inner display, all critical for flipping and folding phones. It has a 6.7 inch AMOLED screen with a 2640 x 1080 resolution and a nice 120Hz refresh rate. We were also impressed with its IP48 water and dust resistance, which is not too much below the IP68 most of the best "non-bending" phones of today are sporting. At the time, however, we did note that the phone was "held back by a higher price" than the competition, something that this deal helps alleviate tremendously.
