I have been an easy-going individual all my life; not the kind who goes by checklists and to-do lists. No matter who you are, such nonchalance comes at a price. And I must accept, I have paid that price many a time. Lost wallets, misplaced smartphones, forgotten travel accessories and important documents, ruined trips, and helplessness; I have borne it all. I wished I had something that would warn me while I was walking away forgetfully from something important. A travel gadget which could help me locate my misplaced item when I needed it the most.
Thankfully, for all of you who can relate with me, we don't have to wait anymore. There's a tiny, but real saviour for people like myself who tend to lose track of their essentials while keeping up with the fast-paced everyday routines, Seekit by Panasonic. It helps everyone stay connected with their valuable items, which they'd otherwise tend to misplace or forget. Well, I'd rather have Seekit by my side than lose those indispensable things of mine.
Read on to know why I count on Seekit to such a great extent and why you should, too.
What made me choose Seekit?
A few months ago, I had a flight to catch from Delhi to Srinagar and I thought I had everything packed the night before I was to depart. But come the morning, an hour before I was to leave for the airport, I just couldn't find my wallet, which contained my debit cards, credit cards, and identity proofs.
I wanted my wallet to somehow start buzzing, like a phone, but it was wishful thinking. It was impossible to go out for a holiday with a few hundred bucks in my pocket. My much-anticipated Kashmir trip was ruined just because I couldn't find an indispensable belonging of mine in time.
Later, one of my friends told me about this cool device, Seekit, an intuitive Bluetooth tracker. The existence of a travel gadget that averts the danger of losing the valuables was an immense relief for an always-on-the-move individual like myself.
How it works?
Using Seekit to locate your misplaced items is as easy as playing a mobile game. Just follow these five simple steps:
1. Download and install the Seekit application on your Android or iOS smartphone.
2. Press the Seekit button until it beeps.
3. Connect Seekit to your smartphone by following in-app instructions.
4. Attach Seekit to your valuables and keep the app on.
5. Find your valuables just by pressing a button whenever you misplace them.
Basically, you tag, connect, and find. Simple and easy, isn't it?
In what kind of scenarios can you count on Seekit?
It works like magic in almost all scenarios wherein you can't recall the exact place you might have left your items, or when you forget something you are supposed to be carrying. Yes, Seekit is that amazing a device. Once your Seekit is connected to your items like a mobile, wallet, handbag, camera, keys, luggage, laptop, or even your naughty little pet, and synced with the Seekit app; you can use to find all your tagged valuables when misplaced.
With the Seekit device and app by my side, I think I have insured myself [and my important stuff] against inevitable accidental troubles.
