The Moto Tag is probably the best Find My Device tracker on the market, and that's before you factor in the added future benefit of UWB.

Someone complaining that Google chose "privacy over functionality" was not on my bingo card...

Well, it's only privacy from people who aren't google, since google still receive all the pings.

It's also questionable how much it actually helps privacy.

Another company releasing another unfinished product, with no estimated date on when ultra wideband will be implemented.

Please people, don't buy unfinished products.

Ultra-wideband

In addition to other use cases, it is used to precisely identify where a device is in relation to another one.

With Bluetooth you could probably figure out which room a device is in - it'll get you within a few meters - UWB will help you find which end of the couch it is under, at the cost of only working once you are within a meter or two

I have Samsung's uwb trackers, and they can show precise location at a distance of roughly 15 meters
