The editors liked

  • The Proximo Proximity Monitoring System is a cinch to set up and its polished iOS app is intuitive to use
  • Minimal battery drain for iPhone
  • Works as expected to find keys and other valuables from iPhone
  • Loud alerts
  • Includes two dongles
  • Easy to use app
  • Long battery life
  • It uses Bluetooth 4
  • So it doesn't drain your iPhone battery. Batteries inside the fob and tag are longlasting and userreplaceable (no charging).

The editors didn't like

  • Proximo's app doesn't allow you to preview phone alarm sounds
  • And you must launch the app in order to dismiss a triggered alarm on the handset
  • Can't support broad enough distances for some alarm uses
  • IOS only
  • It uses Bluetooth 4
  • So older iOS devices aren't compatible

  • The Proximo Proximity Monitoring System is reliable and very easy to use, but $60 is a high price to pay just to keep track of your belongings.

  • Minimal battery drain for iPhone, Works as expected to find keys and other valuables from iPhone
  • Can't support broad enough distances for some alarm uses
  • The Proximo products and app are clever, and they work. I really wish that the built-in alarm could work with a broader range, so that my iPhone and fob wouldn't sound their alerts until they were a bit further apart; as is, it's too limited for me to us...

  • Compact, Autonomie de six mois, Géolocalisation de la balise dès la perte de connexion, Sensibilité de l'alarme réglable
  • Alarme de proximité difficilement utilisable au quotidien
  • Dans la même veine que la montre Casio Bluetooth, le porte-clé et la balise Proximo de Kensington permettent de retrouver facilement ses clés ou son sac, mais aussi d'afficher la dernière position enregistrée avant la perte de connexion, ce qui peut s'avé...

  • Für teure Gadgets Wer vergesslich ist, wird das Proximo schätzen lernen – mit 20 Euro für ein Tag ist es auch nicht unerschwinglich. Den Nutzen als Diebstahlschutz würde ich eher nicht im Vordergrund sehen. Technische Daten des Kensington ProximoAkku ...
