When a Florida woman’s pink hard-shell roller bag didn’t show up at the baggage carousel after her flight was cancelled, she panicked.

Then she checked the location-tracking feature of the Apple Watch she had packed inside. It was pinging from an address about six miles north of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, where she had checked her bag, according to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office.
