Bought one of these in preorder and have been using it for a little over a month.

It's TINY. But a little pricey.
Rechargeable and lasts for about 30days.

If anyone else goes mad trying to find your glasses (especially because you cant see!) this thing works a treat! Ringer is pretty loud too!
 
Interesting, but these need fairly thick frames (more than 4 mm). They wouldn't fit on my glasses, for instance.

As shown, this is true. I ended up putting mine on outside of the rear ear catch piece. It was just thick enough and the adhesive is very strong.
 
Despite the photo, it isnt the best descriptor.


The device has two, tiny recessed contacts that mate with pogo pins on small springed clip that has a built in usb-a cable. The clip arrangement feels kind of cheap/flimsy but it does work.

That got me thinking, it should be easier to make the whole thing AirTags compatible.
Makes the frame AirTags.

true, that'd be a nice build in. but hey at least with this you dont need to buy new frames!

i had read that you can only find it if it's in the same room (??). is that very incorrect? also, did you find the product lasted?

I think that’s basically true for any Bluetooth finder, you need to be in range to be able to connect and send the sound command.

The product works fine, 4-6 week battery life is short but it’s so dang small! I only wish it wasn’t a proprietary pogo pin charger but again, the tiny size requires it.

Worth it if you want the smallest FindMy device. Haven’t seen anything else come close, size wise!

helpful hint if you can't see to find your glasses

get out your phone, and turn on the camera, as long as your eyes can focus on the screen, the phone will handle focusing on everything else.

How are people losing their glasses? Especially if you basically need them for everything? I have been wearing glasses 35+ years and can't think of a time I have ever lost my glasses. I wear them till I go to bed which is when they come off and go on the night stand. When I wake up they go on. How are you all losing track of your glasses if you really do need them?

haha, ah you sound like my dad :)

i dont 'lose' them, but thats not the same as not knowing where they are :)

i dont always wear my glasses (contacts, travel) so that great discipline doesnt always play out for me...

btw you could say the same thing about keys...

Very nice idea. Misplacing reading glasses somewhere in the house is something that happens from time to time. So I basically stash reading glasses in every room. This device would simplify things.

I been wearing glasses full time for the better part of 63 years until I had cataract surgery earlier this year. I think this is in more of a search for a problem that does not really exist.

look im glad you always know where your glasses are. good for you!

i know its can be hard to keep up at an advanced age, but this doesn't have to be used with glasses, either.

thanks for your contribution to this thread, dont know what we would have done with out you.

whew, hardcore! i kept losing my glasses, thought i needed one of these and then realized wearing my glasses on a chain worked just as well---for me, anyway! only took me 25 years to figure out. but since they're frickin $700+ i may put this on as a back-up. i think those of us who need their glasses all the time aren't as likely to lose them as those of us (me) who don't need them regularly.

Can you tell me how to turn off the confirming messages that repeatedly appear on my phone screen telling me the Tracket is synced with my phone—very annoying. I want to buy lots of these, but must find out how to remedy this problem first. Thanks
 
This item was a total waste of $40.
with one and a half stars on trustpilot, I am clearly not the only one furious at their horrible customer service. I have no idea if this device (the so-called eyeglass tracker) actually works or not because after six or seven emails to Customer Service went unanswered, I gave up. Then I finally got a response in which I was promised a video that would assist me in the answers to my questions -- and of course I never got sent the promised video email. When I asked her why it had taken her so long to answer my emails given that I had been writing for over a week she said she was out of the office. So does that mean they only have one customer service person and there's no coverage when she's not available? Terrible terrible terrible company!

This crappy little device may or may not work but you would never know it from the instructions, which are incomprehensible and obviously written by somebody who doesn't speak English. They do not answer their phones; they do not answer emails; and when it failed to work after my first use of it I spent hours searching for a so-called reset button which was nowhere to be found until I finally pulled the device off my glasses (thereby wasting one of the three little stickies they give you and good luck finding anything to replace them with) and discovered that it's hidden underneath the place where you paste it onto your glasses. Which means that if you have to reset the device, which I immediately had to do after it worked for five minutes, you have to tear it off your glasses and they give you exactly 3 little teeny weenie sticky pieces for the lifetime of the object. If it needs to be reset every couple of weeks it'll be good for about a month and then you'll never be able to use it again. A total waste of $40.
