I combine them with the satechi luggage tags (which are nice because you charge them with magsafe/qi, but they do lack the airtag’s precision finding). I’m a belt and suspenders kind of guy.
Gotta wonder how many will upgrade just so they don't have to deal with changing out the batteries from the first gen.
I’d also like to be able to designate my car as a “no need to warn me i forgot it” zone. I leave my sunglasses in the car with a satechi “find my” sunglasses case all the time, and it’s constantly reminding me I left them behind.
or a time. my bike bag has one so I don't forget to bring the groceries home. but when I go for a walk it goes off. I only need it after say 3pm.
Good point. My computer bag, computer, etc. are marked “safe” at my home or my office, because if I leave work to go to lunch I don’t want an alert. But I really do want an alert if I leave that stuff in the office at the end of the day when I go home.
Being able to use your watch for this feature means everyone around you won't necessarily know that you've misplaced your car. 
I'm using a few of those big battery cases from Elevation Lab for AirTags, they last for 1 million years and make it more weatherproof. We put them into the interior zipper linings in suitcases, etc., they just stay there, never need battery replacement (well, eventually, they use 2 AA vs. the CR2032), and yes, you can still hear them just fine (though this is more about general location).
Oh, they have some new designs!
Not going to change the ones I have because “I can change the batteries” LOL, referred to some peopleApple introduces new AirTag with expanded range and improved findability
Apple today unveiled the new AirTag, now with an expanded finding range and a louder speaker.www.apple.com
No obvious new features, but louder speaker and longer range.
There had been rumors it would be harder to disable the speaker, but these aren’t confirmed yet.
Great ideas but I have to pass: till tariff are on, it costs 6$ more that I DON’T want to give it to yourI'm using a few of those big battery cases from Elevation Lab for AirTags, they last for 1 million years and make it more weatherproof.

Nice story thoughOh...and a FindMy story. I bought a bunch of KeySmart cards to track my wife's purses. She loaned one to her daughter. Didn't think anything of it. The purse/card stayed at the daughter's apartment. Kept meaning to mention it to her...but figured we'd get it back when she returned the purse. (the daughter is 26).
Well, the "purse" suddenly shows as being down at our local recycling depot the other day. I'm like "What?! She lost the purse?! Or did she throw away the card? Nah...she would have asked her Mom before doing that". I asked her about it. She had no idea what I was talking to her about. Fished one of the cards out of another purse. "Oh....yep." She winced. I had dumped that out when cleaning out the purse....then later, I was cleaning out some stuff - thought that was one of my ex's things, so I threw it away. Sorry"
Told her it was fine. Also reminded her that electronics are supposed to be recycled, not thrown in the landfill.
Next thing I know, the card is in a train yard in Seattle. From there, it made its way to a landfill in Arlington, Oregon. It seems that's its final resting place.

I had no idea that Metro Vancouver has a contract with a landfill in Oregon to take our waste.
