Instead of that kind of asshole you can be the kind that shames anyone getting something you don't understand. My first reaction to the ring was one of surprise, but not in a positive way. When I saw the video presentation by migikovsky I started to see certain appeal and use cases. Which made me bring up the ring to my wife.

My wife is diagnosed with ADHD and some other neurospicy stuff. I bought her a pebble together with mine, thinking it would be useful for her too, but she nearly never used it. I believe that ring might actually have a lot of worth for someone like her. When I told her about it, it surprised me how fast she was interested in the idea. Like she is the opposite of me with tech, not only she doesn't like tech and she is not particularly interested in anything related to it, but she has a negative aura around tech that somehow keeps making things malfunction in ways I cannot understand. Something this simple... Something she can forget about charging or anything... That is not terrible. With the theoretical duration of the battery, it might outlast many devices that can be charged and still get discarded after a while.

You don't need to want it or like it, to understand that others might find it useful.

The aspect of the unchargeable battery is a pity... But I can understand the decision making there even if I don't like it. Hopefully in a future version there is some way to include some wireless charging or something... Alternatively I would want to see a similar ring, but without the mic. Just a button, that connects to the pebble watch, to launched actions using the button. Could even just use the pebble's mic by pressing the button. I wonder how long the battery would last if the microphone is not used and just launches an action in the watch. There's a lot more depth to such a simple device than it appears.
