Ugreen’s new soccer ball-shaped tracker has up to 7 years of battery life

The FineTrack 2 isn’t as discreet as an AirTag.

Ugreen has announced a new Apple Find My-compatible tracker with a novel design that limits where you can hide it, but greatly benefits battery life. Inspired by “major football tournaments” the company doesn’t call out by name, the Ugreen FineTrack 2 is shaped like a soccer ball and is designed to be used hanging off your keys or bags. It’s much larger than an Apple AirTag or credit card-sized trackers, but still small enough to bury in a suitcase or stick in your car’s glove compartment.

The waterproof FineTrack 2 is available now for $19.99 and comes with a 600mAh CR2450 battery good for around five to seven years of use with Apple’s Find My network. Ugreen’s trackers often come with excellent battery life. It updated its 1.7mm thick credit card tracker with support for Google’s Find Hub network and five years of battery life last September, but once it dies, it becomes e-waste. It’s the same story for the FineTrack 2. It’s not rechargeable and its battery isn’t replaceable. An AirTag’s battery might only last for around a year, but you can easily swap in a new one as often as you need.

The FineTrack Mini 2 is a smaller version of Ugreen’s ball-shaped tracker.
