Knog Scout Travel review

Knog's Scout Travel is the only product here designed as a luggage tag first. It bolts onto a bag with a braided stainless-steel cable and an anti-tamper bolt that needs Knog's tool to remove, and it comes with 90 mm and 160 mm cables. Tracking runs through Apple's Find My network, with NFC for Lost Mode. Printed on the tag is a unique QR code: anyone who scans it sees the contact details you choose in the Knog app and can send you a message, such as a note that your bag is at baggage services. You can also arm a motion-sensitive 85 dB alarm that sounds on the tag and alerts your iPhone when in Bluetooth range. Knog says it complies with FAA checked luggage rules. The downsides are real: it works with iPhone only for now, the USB-C battery lasts 2 to 4 months depending on use, and the list price is $65.99, though it was $33 on sale when we checked.
