A gadget you throw away when the battery runs out is a very dumb idea if you ask me.
What the hell? They are delaying their new watches left and right, cancel pre-orders because they ran out of parts, and now they’re doing this, just out of the blue?

It should be outlawed if you ask me. “Battery Life: Years of average use” What if it dies after a month? The warranty they offer is 30 days, meaning that this is pretty much meant to be junk.

So, classic Eric Migicovsky. There was a reason I was staying away from this RePebble shit entirely.
This is the same guy who offered integration between Beeper and iMessage and had it broken by Apple in under a week, and then… just stopped trying after promising it to customers.
Then when he got bored with Beeper he sold it to Automattic.
It’s so much like his original run with Pebble as well, where he fucked over the devs on their way out who were promised jobs with the sale of the company, to find out late in the game that wasn’t actually happening.
I think Migicovsky being allowed to startup companies and then throw them in the bin when he gets bored while pocketing the profit should be outlawed.
Genuinely, is this rage bait?
$100, non replaceable battery, does absolutely nothing besides stream audio recordings to an llm on your phone that is 100% guaranteed to produce a worthless error ridden transcript,
and my personal favorite,
Unlike recording notes with a phone or smartwatch, you don’t need both hands to create voice notes with the Index.
Is this a joke? Why do I need both hands to record a voice note with a phone?
Hey chatgpt, I accidentally made a product to solve a nonexistent problem. What should I say?
