with my crappy memory; i bet i would drain that battery in 3 months. lol
"up to years" means maybe 2
He says it explicitly, about 2 years with his personal average use.
Also says if used as a simple button it could last more than a decade. So a major YMMV
This is what it should have been. A simple button that triggers actions on the watch with a single hand.
...yes, that's what it is. It's fully programmable
Good chance this won't even get through EU customs... That thing is terrible for the planet. I like the idea of a audio recording device on my hand, but not like this. Definitely NOT gonna try buying it...
Single-use? No.
This should be a feature of the smartwatch and probably will be.
Before the battery runs out, the Pebble app notifies and asks if you’d like to order another ring
gross
It’s a subscription.
it's it just a voice note recorder or an ai agent?
I came here to complain about the fact that it's single use. Seams like everyone here thinks the same. I don't care I have to spend an hour tearing it apart to pull out the old battery and put in a new one. I was really interested until I realised it was single use, complete deal breaker for me.
Hopefully someone will find out a way to replace the battery, cause this would genuinely save me so much I have the exact same problem the creator of the ring has.
