"I don't know how much battery, or anything about this tracker card" Headline: AIRTAG KILLER. Immediate thumbs down and avoiding future videos.

[@BeastMadeReviews]

Your loss.

[@IlkoAmbarev]

​​​​@@BeastMadeReviews You should realise that what the previous comment stated is not pointless blind criticism. It's valid constructive criticism. It's told you *why* they are doing what they are doing and I will also follow, as will others, especially seeing that your response isn't that of accepting fault that you did not write your homework when you are literally doing a review of a device we are all interested in. Instead of using it as the valuable feedback it is and correcting it in the future, you completely dismiss it and say nothing else which only makes this even worse, further proving why their decision and mine, is right.

[@BeastMadeReviews]

@@IlkoAmbarev And you should realize that a comment like that is not being helpful at all. If someone is offended by the way I make videos, then I am not taking time to console them. Plenty of other people love this video and my perspective. If they want to avoid all future videos because of a title, it's not my loss, it's theirs. I wasn't being rude; I just won't entertain comments like that.

[@IlkoAmbarev]

@@BeastMadeReviews On the contrary. What makes that comment helpful to you is the 'why', which they have given. That's what makes it constructive criticism and not plain hate. You also don't have to or need to console anyone as they're not offended. They have simply found your opinion as a reviewer untrustworthy as you could not be bothered to even open the product page of the device to look-up its specifications before making this video, which is by default the first thing that's expected of a person in your trade. The issue they see is not the title, it's your attitude towards the whole video. You are comparing to another product, without knowing the capabilities of the one you are reviewing and by that train of thought we can't be sure if you know the others' either. Ultimately, it's a comment with a lesson and a result and instead of seeing that lesson you've emotionally focused on the result and replied in a manner that would further alienate newcomers. As a direct example - myself.

[@BeastMadeReviews]

@@IlkoAmbarev again, I think you are reading too much into his comment. I have to take comments at face value. He mentioned I didn't know about battery life, mentions my title, and says he will avoid future videos. That's not a helpful criticism. Many other helpful commenters have added the battery life in the comments section. The primary reason I don't have that in the video is because I didn't have the information to give. I got pre-release product, and no website information. I don't even know if that is on their website now. And my point about the battery life was actually a passing comment that was a critique about not knowing the information. But I don't have to defend myself. And I don't need to listen to bad faith comments that only exist to criticize the PERSON and not the information. If you or that person wants to not watch my channel because of that, by all means go ahead. I am going to continue doing what I've always done.

[@35MQ1]

I spoke to Groove life today. They said the card will be available online in the future for $10. The battery lasts 1 1/2 years. I have the original belt and I love it. I’ve had it since it first came out.

[@DarwinNaval-md9ex]

This was from GrooveLife today (5/30/24): Unfortunately, the tracker card in the Trace Wallet will not be sold separately. It is not compatible with our GO Wallet or our Original Wallet

[@AllenFern24]

Dope product, but I’d personally hesitate to call it an “Airtag Killer” because that Ultra Wideband tech is the reason why lots of people still opt for an AirTag, even for wallet use. That precision finding is CLUTCH on a practical level of finding your items in home…like inside your couch cushion 😂

[@BeastMadeReviews]

Yeah, I think that's a personal choice. For me, the Wideband feature isn't as useful as the form factor is. I would take this card over an Airtag any day, So for me this is a Killer, but to each his own!

[@denim_joey]

Does this mean it won’t give you an exact distance and arrow pointing to where the wallet is?

[@AllenFern24]

@@denim_joey Yeah, the Ultra Wideband is necessary to have that function in Find My.

[@dpav02]

The ultrawide band is a big deal to me too. I’m not worried about someone stealing my wallet and throwing away the AirTag. I’m worried about where the hell did I put my wallet before leaving home. I rely on the precise find my location all the time lol

[@dannycrain3485]

Can you track it with samsung phone.

[@BeastMadeReviews]

I don't think so

[@benediktrichardwischgoll9448]

So what's the alternative for android users?

[@jesusramirez9181]

Does it have the ultra wide band tracking like the AirTag

[@BeastMadeReviews]

hmm that I don't know. I don't know if Apple uses different tech for their tracking. I was under the impression that they were the same technology, but I don't know the specifics.

[@suzay21]

Curious if they have MagSafe

[@Jephthahs_Daughter]

@@suzay21 no magsafe. Wallet does not magnetically attach to phone or anything

[@Jephthahs_Daughter]

Battery lasts 1.5-2 years and costs $10 to replace after the $120 day warranty. Also on the website is says “Note: In order for the Trace wallet to work properly, we recommend replacing the money clip with the wallet go attachment on the back of the wallet.” So thats kinda concerning and not cool

[@nickryanwalter24]

Hey ​​⁠@@Jephthahs_Daughter - there was a typo in the description. Thank you for calling that out! What it meant to say was that if you purchase one of our Go leather attachments, we recommend you remove the money clip on the back of the wallet and place the attachment there. The wallet works perfectly fine with or without our attachment.

[@StevenYoungcaptual]

No UI function. Wireless card charge. No money clip. No deal.

[@DarwinNaval-md9ex]

From GrooveLife (5/30/24): Unfortunately, the tracker card in the Trace Wallet will not be sold separately. It is not compatible with our GO Wallet or our Original Wallet.

[@BeastMadeReviews]

I've heard from other subscribers and they said the opposite. I'm not sure, but either way, it's a great wallet as is.

[@DarwinNaval-md9ex]

I hope they’re right. I enjoy my Groove Wallet and have been trying out other card trackers which have left a lot to be desired. Fingers crossed they release the card itself.

[@Hunt4ever]

If you purchase the trace wallet the replacement tracker card is $10 as a warranty replacement option. Found in the FAQ for the trace wallet.

[@robertcaceres3428]

I hope they sell it separately. I don’t want to spend another 130 plus

[@Robskaz]

The link to buy the Trace is broken on the website, is it not available now ?

[@brink182x]

what about android users?

[@kzspeed1288]

I need this for android.

[@benediktrichardwischgoll9448]

If you find something lemme know lol

[@roberts5erauedu]

Pretty sure find my works on Android

[@sandwich.520]

Just lost my wallet in one of the worst places the day before Thanksgiving around 3 PM banks close at five

[@jammies701]

Seems like they don't sell the card separately? That's an odd decision but I guess they're trying to push the wallets for now with that as the selling point because it's not a feature standout otherwise, which is ok, you can compete on quality not features, preferred even

[@BeastMadeReviews]

yes, as far as I am aware, this is only sold with the wallet currently. I would guess that will change in time, though.

[@pinzzpin6492]

There are lots of 3rd party cards that work with find myz. They usally cost around 15-20$

[@whyurlapsmellsgood69]

I also wish they sold it separately but I assume they will down the line, especially as replacements if the original is lost or broken

[@BeastMadeReviews]

I think if it were lost or broken it would fall under their warranty. (Which, btw, they have great customer service)

[@35MQ1]

I spoke to Groove life today. They said the card will be available online in the future for $10. And the battery lasts 1 1/2 years

[@chillingpapi5981]

I have three of their belts and got rid of all my other belts. I have a few of the rings as well but never heard of the wallet until now. Thanks for the review, still won’t get me away from my Open Sea Leather front pocket wallet.

[@BeastMadeReviews]

Very cool! Their belts and rings are top tier! Wallets are such a personal choice, I totally understand when someone wants to stay with one they love. I have a few wallets from Open Seas and I love them--more videos on them to come. :)

[@garyjustgary5059]

I had read somewhere the battery will last for 2 years.

[@BeastMadeReviews]

thank you!

[@Mountain_Man]

Great video! This is the first video of yours I have seen and I’m impressed. I am a new subscriber and looking forward to watching more! I was an OG backer on Kickstarter for the Groovelife wallet. I was super excited because I love their products and actually use a groovelife ring as my wedding ring. I have had the wallet since it came out and long term review is that it is just ok. The sliding mechanism loosens after a while, the door that pops out so the cards can slide past doesn’t always stay closed, the cards don’t step out just all come out at once (mind you I only keep two IDs a debit card and a credit card in it. And the action of sliding my cards in and out has peeled the edges of my debit card. Also it’s a little larger than a Ridge wallet what I was originally using. The best part about the groove wallet is the leather back with an extra pocket and elastic strap. My next wallet I will be trying out is the Magpul DACA everyday. It’s $24. And has an ID display window which will be nice to not have to pull out every time I need to display it.

[@kylelogan5013]

Does a tile card fit in the hidden card slot?

[@BeastMadeReviews]

The tracker card? Yes it does

[@saramystik3284]

imagine fitting this inside of a macbook or other expensive laptop?

[@treblemix_]

It’d be nice if there was MagSafe on it. I’ll stick with the veger x5 😂

[@gobbedy]

do they sponsor you in some way? it kinda sounds like they do EDIT: ok, you mention that they sponsor the video at 2:15. maybe mention that at the top? totally misleading video

[@BeastMadeReviews]

It's not misleading if I disclose the sponsorship, Einstein.

[@gobbedy]

@@BeastMadeReviews no need to be defensive. yes, it's misleading if you mention it only at 2:15, and not at all in the title of the video or the description beneath. many if not most of your viewers will miss the short, mid-video segment where you mention your sponsorship since most viewers do not watch videos in their entirety (as I'm sure your data will confirm), and they will incorrectly believe you are unaffiliated.

[@FRONTchard]

So basically its pointless if you dont have an apple phone?

[@BeastMadeReviews]

Well it’s still a wallet. But the tracker card only works with Apple.

[@jonmiller1933]

The one thing that would make it perfect is MagSafe

[@jarhead4657]

This is a crock of shit and an ad. It has nowhere near the abilities of an AirTag.

[@BeastMadeReviews]

If you believe that, then you haven't even used it. I literally show how they connect to your iPhone in the video and show up just like an AirTag.

[@foblymobly]

No U1 chip…

[@BeastMadeReviews]

not a deal-killer for me

[@jammies701]

Nice vid mate

[@BeastMadeReviews]

thank you for watching!

[@readyme]

Curious how it DESTROYS AirTagswhen you don’t know the specifics on batteries and technology. I like the thin design for sure, but you sound like a salesman for Groove.

[@BeastMadeReviews]

Well I am a salesman for Groove Life for this video. I mentioned that. But it’s still my honest opinion that these are better. As for an AirTag killer, I mentioned that too. The size and convenience are far superior. I got my wallet before they launched it, so I could find all the details. Others have pointed out the battery life and warranty. The warranty itself DESTROYS Apple AirTags.

[@HarrisonVideoDump]

Great review!! I’m definitely getting one!

[@juanfragueiroaramburu]

I love the fact that it has a very obvious power button so if a thief finds it they will know how to turn it off

[@BeastMadeReviews]

it doesn't turn off once you power it on.

[@Daniel-1680]

Kinda the same way a thief could just take your cards out and ditch the wallet altogether? Better better to just padlock it to yourself. Come on man 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@bullockwagon5994]

@@Daniel-1680Obviously this isn’t for theft deterrent. It’s designed for when you misplace your wallet.

[@IR.L971]

Wow! I think you've sold me on the groove with this video. Too bad there's so many butt hurt folks in the comments 😂 keep making great videos! 🤙🏽

[@BeastMadeReviews]

Thank you!

[@fenryrthegunner]

what a nonsensical video😂

[@BeastMadeReviews]

It seems like everyone else understood it just fine.
