    No charging: The battery lasts for up to years of average use. After the end of its life, send your ring back to us for recycling.

        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.

      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

    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.
