Nomad Tracking Card Air or Pro: which one belongs in your wallet

Eine Geldbörse sollte nur das aufnehmen, was Sie brauchen, und nichts weiter. Genau deshalb hat der AirTag trotz all seiner Vorzüge nie wirklich seinen Platz darin gefunden. Er ist dick, bildet einen Höcker und zwingt Sie dazu, Ihre Sachen anders zu verstauen. Eine Tracking-Karte löst dieses Problem unauffällig. Sie liegt flach zwischen Ihren Karten, funktioniert mit Apples „Wo ist?“-Netzwerk und wird kabellos aufgeladen. Nomad bietet zwei Modelle an: die Tracking Card Air und die Tracking Card Pro. Auf dem Papier sehen sie sich ähnlich, sind jedoch für leicht unterschiedliche Nutzer konzipiert. So unterscheiden Sie sie.

What a tracking card does

A tracking card is a slim Bluetooth tracker in the shape of a bank card. Once paired, it appears in the Find My app next to your other Apple devices. If your wallet goes missing, you can see its last known location, or let the wider Find My network help you locate it.

Unlike an AirTag, it has no replaceable battery. You recharge it by placing it on any MagSafe or Qi wireless charger, which means there is no coin cell to buy or open.

Tracking Card Air: the slimmest option

The Air is the lighter of the two. It measures 1.7 mm in thickness and weighs 12 grams, so it disappears into a wallet that is already full. It contains minimal metal and no magnets, which means it will not interfere with the other cards you carry.

The Find My version lasts around five months on a single charge. A Find Hub version for Android is also available, with a battery life of around seven months.

The Air suits you if you carry a slim wallet, you want the least possible bulk, and you do not mind a short wireless charge a couple of times a year.

Tracking Card Pro: made to look like the real thing

The Pro is built with a more robust, metal construction and designed to resemble a regular payment card, complete with a chip detail. It is 2.5 mm thick, a little more than the Air, and in return it lasts up to 16 months on a single charge. It is also water resistant (IPX7) and works with Apple's Find My network.

Because it looks like an ordinary card, it is also more discreet. Someone going through your wallet is less likely to notice that one of the cards is not a bank card at all.

The Pro suits you if you prefer to charge rarely, like the sturdier build, or would rather your tracker stayed unnoticed.

And the AirTag?

The AirTag remains a very good choice for keys, bags and luggage. Its battery is replaceable and lasts around a year. For a wallet, however, a card is simply the more natural shape. It slides into a card slot, needs no keyring hole, and adds a fraction of the thickness.

A quiet way to keep track

Both cards do the same thing well. The Air is for those who value thinness above all, and the Pro for those who prefer a long battery life and a sturdier feel. Whichever you choose, it will stay out of sight until the day you need it.
