Love the idea as a very easily distracted individual, but the battery is keeping me on the fence. I understand how charging circuitry makes this product a non-starter, but is there any hope of the battery being replaceable?

If you look at other rechargeable smart rings they're in the $250 to $300 range, plus a $10/month subscription. We didn't want to do that for a new product like this.

  • I like the price here, but my question was not about adding charging circuitry, but some way to open the ring and replace the battery once it's depleted.

    • Then you'd run into waterproofing issues, and there's greater inherent complexity in providing replacement ability.
