Announced at CES 2026, the Moto Tag 2 has finally arrived in the US. The Bluetooth tracker with improved battery life over its predecessor, plus UWB sensing for more accurate tracking, is available through Motorola’s site at a special $19.99 launch price (originally $29.99). There are plenty of trackers for Android owners to consider, but the Tag 2 seems tough to beat at this price. It supports Google’s Find Hub network, has an IP68 rating, and runs off a replaceable CR2032 coin battery that can last up to 600 days.
The Moto Tag 2 has a built-in speaker that can sound off at up to 77 decibels. The tracker itself has a button that can be set to do several things, and is configurable within the Moto Tag app. Pressing the button can help you find your phone nearby. It can also trigger your phone’s camera shutter. A Bluetooth tracker doesn’t need most of these features to be good, but the Moto Tag 2 has them anyway.
