Motorola has quietly launched the new Moto Tag 2 in parts of Europe. At first glance, the tracker looks fairly simple. It’s a compact tracker designed for attaching to things like keys, bags, wallets, or luggage, and it connects through Google’s Find Hub network on Android devices.
But the more interesting upgrades are happening underneath. The Moto Tag 2 supports Ultra-Wideband (UWB) alongside Bluetooth 6.0 and Bluetooth Channel Sounding, which allows for much more accurate nearby positioning compared to regular Bluetooth trackers.
In practice, that means your phone can guide you toward the lost item with directional indicators and more precise distance measurements instead of just vaguely telling you it’s “nearby.” That’s especially useful indoors, where traditional Bluetooth trackers can sometimes feel frustratingly imprecise.
Motorola claims the tracker can last up to 600 days using a standard replaceable CR2032 battery. This is a major upgrade over the “one-year battery” of the first-generation Moto Tag. The Moto Tag 2 is also rated IP68 for dust and water resistance, so it should survive rain, spills, and general everyday abuse without much trouble.
Design-wise, Motorola has kept things fairly minimal. The tracker is slim enough to fit inside wallets or luggage compartments and comes in green and orange color options instead of the usual plain white or black approach most trackers use.
There are a couple of smaller convenience features too. The built-in button can apparently be used to ring your connected phone or even trigger the camera shutter remotely. Motorola is also leaning on Google’s encrypted Find Hub ecosystem for privacy and secure location sharing.
Overall, the Moto Tag 2 feels like Motorola trying to make a more capable Android alternative to Apple’s AirTag without overcomplicating the product. And honestly, UWB support alone already gives it a pretty noticeable advantage over many cheaper Bluetooth trackers still relying entirely on signal strength estimation.
Pricing and availability:
The Moto Tag 2 is currently available in markets like the UK and Germany, priced at around £29.99 and €40 respectively. So far, the rollout seems limited to parts of Europe, though broader availability will likely follow later on.
