There's an Android app that will constantly scan for their Bluetooth signature in the background and alert you.

I have this app. I work with a douche who wears these (despite then being banned), and this app didn't pick them up.

The app didn't detect the glasses that it was solely designed to detect??

Not in my case, no.

That must be a huge battery killer.

Nah, if you have Bluetooth on your phone is already doing it.

Basically this. The polling rate and client interrogation behavior can often be pushed to a far more aggressive stance than the usual defaults, but only in foreground mode on most mobile OSes.

I have it installed on mine & haven't noticed any difference.
