My other half often forgets her iPhone at work or at home. Quite inconvenient for me as well when trying to arrange who picks up the kids from school/daycare before a long weekend. Any good devices that will alert you when you're too far away from your phone? She also often misses calls and texts because she doesn't hear her phone so perhaps something with some sort of call/text notifications would be handy. Now the complex part: she doesn't want to wear something dorky so it should be either a something basic that looks like an armband (not a smart watch) or a tile-thingy for her key ring. Ideally, it doesn't need to be charged every night either.

Cheers! So can all these band things alert you when you leave your phone behind?
It's usually a feature found in quite a lot of fitness tracking devices that incorporate a vibration module.
I went for the Color Band, it looks like something she wouldn't mind wearing (the Minand 2 is probably overkill) - they only had 1 left and didn't want to miss out. Great price and thanks for responding so quickly! It will show LOST when it's out of range so hopefully there's some beeping/vibrating to go with that as well.
So you bought her a fitness band….hmm…
Good luck explaining it.
Fitness? Nah, it's a colour band. Women love colour, right?

My recommendation though is a Xiaomi Miband 2 (check on GearBest of Geekbuy or Zapals for best prices), it will look slightly fit-bit-ish and not exactly the most fashionable thing around, but it's a far more capable product with better software.
