Can Samsung design a collar for the smart tag, as i use it to keep an eye on my kitten. I feel as though it might be annoying for him because it gets in the way when he's eating or drinking. I'm actually considering to buy the apple airtag as it is small and has a collar which doesn't get in the way.

I have one on my small dog...
OK it doesn't provide live tracking but for a one off fee of £29 (smart tag+) I feel it's worth the minimal cost even if it only increases the chances of my dog being found/returned by a small percentage.

While I understand that SmartTag's are not the best devices to use as pet trackers, there are downsides to GPS trackers too.
- Battery life sucks (1-2 days max)
- Physical size
- Can't be left on a pet indefinitely (you have to take it off to charge it)
- A monthly subscription is required
- Minimum term and credit check usually required
- Higher upfront cost
- Accuracy isn't always that accurate
The major one for me though is the poor battery life! People soon get fed up with having to remove a GPS tracker every evening to charge it overnight only to place them back on the pet every morning. What happens if your pet manages to get loose when it's on charge?
My dog is chipped, tagged and has SmartTag+. This should show anyone that finds her that she is loved, missed and hopefully increases my chances of finding her. It's a shame that the SmartTag doesn't have NFC built in too! I guess Samsung held off on that as they need new features for the SmartTag++. 🤣
