I wonder how many years?

...how many?

> a battery that lasts for years

How many years does the battery last?

> That’s up to 2 years of usage.

Ah.

I guess "2" is the absolute minimum that you could describe as "years".

It's a shame because it does look like an interesting proposition. It might be more compelling if it was "send your ring back to us for recycling - and we'll send you a new one". I doubt the economics would work at this price point though.

I really don’t want to wear a battery in that form factor.

Sure a phone or watch can burst into flames, but at least you’ve got a chance of dropping it or taking it off.

I also don’t see the bother of talking to your wrist rather than your hand.

Given it's doing nothing when not activated, I would imagine it heavily depends on how often you're using it. Still would be nice to be able to say "1,000 hours of recording" or something like that
