A gadget you throw away when the battery runs out is a very dumb idea if you ask me.

    Damn, I saw the headline, thought “Did someone finally…” But no, it’s not a YubiKey (or similar) in the form of a signet ring.

    It’s a finger mounted microphone with a non are chargeable non-replaceable battery.

      If your thought was going to be ‘Did someone finally bring back Pebble?’, that is true too.

      Eric got the rights back from google about a year ago and you can pre-order the slightly updated design now. The first wave of classic black and white watches is already sold out and partially shipped (I don’t think they’re making any more of those), but the ones based on the Time 2 concept are still available for pre-order. They’ve partnered with repebble for the app store/etc and are trying to keep it as close to the original concept as possible.
