It is set to hit the markets officially on October 11th and will cost $30. The original had Bluetooth and an ultra-wideband variant but the latest version has both in a single model. Notably, the tag is only compatible with Samsung smartphones. The new model has a visual of a ring-shaped structure complete with a metal along the inside of the ring to aid durability rather than the usual punch-hole. It is easily able to attach only bags and luggage or simply connected to clips or key rings. Additionally, it also has [dust and water resistance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebblebee-tracker) to track pets outside.
