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

The non rechargeable battery is a bummer but I can see this as an accessibility tool for people with ADHD. Even if it only works half as well as they promise as long as it creates reminders and alarms with 80% accuracy it could be a game changer. My son can't remember his head half the time and refuses to create notes and reminders. If he can somehow get it down to just quickly speak to his ring he might be ok. But I think he would totally use it more than 10-20 times a day so that 2 year battery life is not gonna fly.

Yup, there's definitely use cases but the battery is a no-no. It has to be replaceable even if it compromises the design a bit.
