I'm waiting for the Motorola tag in August - UWB on board so even if Find My Device does not yet support it, a future upgrade should.
UWB in the tracker would be good! But my doesn't have UWB so didn't really bother waiting.
I pre ordered the Chipolo One Point from this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/785803
They finally shipped a month ago after over a year delay, and the tracker works as expected I guess. I do find the network isn't as good as I was expecting, I'm not seeing the device update as often as I was expecting when it is away from me. It can be hours without a update when I know it is around android devices. But from what I've read that seems to be googles default setting on devices for reporting 'trackers'. There is lots of talk that Google needs to change the default so phones report in all areas, not just 'high traffic' areas as it is set today. WTF does that mean anyhow!? I can only lose and track my device in a high traffic area? What is the point of that!
So yes, make sure you change your reporting to all areas.
