The tile mate is the classic tracker you ve come to expect from tile.
Tile vs other trackers.
The tile mate is the classic tracker.
Tile on the other hand is waterproof but the battery cannot be replaced and you would need to buy a new device.
Tiles outside of bluetooth range use a crowd gps concept that searches for other tile users nearby.
Tile s trackers are great hardware and since tile has the largest network of devices and users you re more likely to find lost stuff using a tile tracker than with any other company s tracker.

Should another device with the tile app installed be in range it sends an anonymous message to the tile owner to inform them of its location.
And yet people prefer tile over trackr if you need something sturdy and waterproof you may want to consider tile.
It has a range of 200 feet and a battery that should last three years.
That s another reason we have a hard time recommending the mate these days which hasn t seen the same gains as tile s other trackers.
As of 2020 there are four tile models.
