IDK, this one seems pretty unsurprising. That’s a damned tiny package, I can’t really see another way of fastening it together.
Now if it were me, that would be a reason not to make the damn thing in the first place but what do I know…
Who needs this crap? It even costs more than their watch??

You realize that simply because of its size, there’s less e-waste here than like an electric toothbrush, right?
I think size is the wrong point of comparison, considering this is literally pointless tech. I’m not opposed to wearables, but we’re just not at the point where we have small and relevant enough tech to make a ring more advantageous than a fitness band.
Plus we really need to prioritise repairability in all cases, regardless of the tech’s application. I’d say we shouldn’t even produce something we couldn’t then subsequently fix if the need should arise.
Man, if you’re going to start gatekeeping about pointless tech than a fitness band is also pointless.
Go out and run til you’re tired and eat right and you’ll get fit.
I honestly don’t see the fitness tech in itself as useless, it holds clear benefits for us. I’m just not one to encourage creating increasingly wasteful and predatory iterations of said tech.
If you have to argue about how little ewaste it creates when it gets thrown away then the thing shouldn’t have been made in the first place
Whst does it actually do?
Collect data
I don’t think this is a case for bitching about irreparability. I’m pretty sure it’s so tight it can’t be really open.
Yeah, not sure what people expect.
So many knee-jerk reactions.I don’t expect a computer to last 2 years due to a battery dying.
