Scale that finds your bag
Baggage fees are annoying enough when you saw them coming. The ones you didn’t — because you packed confidently and guessed wrong by four pounds — are a special kind of travel tax that feels entirely avoidable in hindsight.
A luggage scale fixes the fee problem. That part’s not new. What’s new here is what happens after you check the bag and walk away from it.
The Slide Innovations scale has Apple Find My built in, which means your suitcase is trackable through the same network your AirTag uses. Here’s the quiet genius of that: anyone who pilfers a bag and goes looking for a tracker will probably toss the AirTag. They’re going to leave the luggage scale alone, because it looks exactly like a luggage scale.
It reads up to 110 lbs, flashes a red light if you’ve set a custom weight limit and blown past it, and runs on a CR2032 battery that’s already included. Nylon handle, comfortable grip, LED display faces up while you’re lifting so you can actually read it.
Two problems. One oddly clever little device.
