My father has a habit of losing his phones. He's on his 4th or 5th iPhone in as many years because he keeps losing the fucking things.

Last time I went to his house I thought I struck gold and found his phone, only for him to tell me that the one I found was a backup phone he bought so that he'd have one ready for when he lost his main phone. And that brand new in box backup phone had gotten misplaced and some how ended up in the basement.

Does anyone have any recs on a Bluetooth find my phone device? I have a Garmin watch and use the find my phone function on it all the time. Something like that, but obviously not a $400 smartwatch. Every time I search for something all I get is fucking air tags which is the opposite of what I want.

Something that can be permanently affixed to a table would be great too.

Look at "Tile". They are not very expensive. Don't require a subscription for the basic functions. You can attach the Tile directly to a table or something and press/hold the button on it and it will cause the phone to ring. (Need to install and setup the app).

If you get more than one you can attach a tile to the phone itself and use a different device to find the tile.
