XY Findit - Wearable Tech That Solves a Simple Problem

This is a beacon, the heart of the tech developed by San Diego-based XY findit.
A most amazing gadget recently fell on my door, so to speak. It didn't start out amazing, but it got better quickly.

I was given an sample of the XY Findit beacon at a party recently and try as I did I couldn't make it work. Turned on, yes, after taking the little tab from in front of the battery, but after that ... nada. So I contacted the San Diego-based company and they sent out a couple of replacements. Talk about an instant about face. The new units did everything as advertised. I activated one beacon, synched it to my iPhone 5s, attached it to my key chain and keys, took a picture (so I would know intuitively what the unit was set to find when I accessed it via the free XY findit app) and the rest has been a very pleasant slice of history. Now I would recommend XY Findit to anyone who routinely loses their keys (or some similar object) because they really, really work, and, in fact, I have already recommended it several times to friends and people I brush shoulders with on a daily basis!

'Nuff said.
