    Wait, it’s single use?

    Yes. We know this sounds a bit odd, but in this particular circumstance we believe it’s the best solution to the given set of constraints. Other smart rings like Oura cost $250+ and need to be charged every few days. We didn’t want to build a device like that. Before the battery runs out, the Pebble app notifies and asks if you’d like to order another ring.

    $100 for a finger mic with a giant ugly button you can’t charge and return for recycling.

    No thanks.

    “The battery lasts for up to years of average use” means it maybe lasts 2 years and then it’s e-waste
