not really, Costco has the same deal with free ship if you have a membership there or know someone who does who can order them for you.
The AirTag 2 (2026) improves on the original by offering roughly double the tracking range (up to 100+ feet), a louder speaker with a higher-pitched chime, and a more robust second-generation Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip for faster precision finding.

In real-world use, the range is slightly better, but not by much. For example, I tested both in my car in a Costco parking lot, and the second-gen could be detected a bit faster and from a bit farther away—roughly 50 feet vs. 30 feet. That said, in most everyday situations, it doesn't really matter anymore because Apple Maps and Google Maps can automatically record where you parked your car anyway.
If you're using it for something like tracking luggage at an airport, both generations perform essentially the same. They don't rely on a direct phone connection, but instead on the "Find My" network, so the experience is very similar.
For items like a wallet you tend to misplace at home, the second-gen is a bit better, but still not enough of an upgrade to justify replacing everything.
Overall, unless your use case specifically depends on better proximity tracking that can't be solved by phone apps, it's probably not worth upgrading. Otherwise, they function almost identically in practice.
Oh, and only second gen can be tracked by Apple watch(selected versions) . If that is the use case you want....
