This $50 gadget does double duty as a tracker and a personal alarm — perfect for summer trips

The VergeFriday, June 5, 2026

If you’re heading out on vacation this summer, you might be weighing whether to pack a Bluetooth tracker for your luggage or a personal safety device for peace of mind. The Pebblebee Halo bundles both into one compact unit, and right now it’s marked down to $49.99 on Amazon — a $10 saving and the lowest price we’ve spotted. Amazon is also running a limited-time deal where buying three gets you a fourth one free.

The Halo works with both Apple’s Find My network and Google’s Find Hub, so you can track keys, wallets, bags, or anything else you tend to misplace. It’s rechargeable, water-resistant, and offers up to 500 feet of Bluetooth range. Like the Pebblebee Clip 5 — our go-to AirTag alternative — it reliably helps you locate lost items, even when they’re far away.

But what makes the Halo different is its safety mode. A quick pull triggers a 130-decibel siren, flashing strobe lights, and automatic location sharing with one trusted contact. If you want to alert multiple people at once, you’ll need Pebblebee’s Alert Live subscription, which runs $24.99 a year. The first year is free, so you can test it out without any upfront cost.

Whether you’re navigating a new city alone or walking back to your hotel late at night, this little device offers a lot of reassurance for the price.
