> No charging: The battery lasts for up to years of average use. After the end of its life, send your ring back to us for recycling.

I shared your concerns but I read this bit and I think it's all pretty reasonable if you ask me. They're open and upfront about it, and you can very quickly choose not to buy one.

Who's recycling their Oura battery anyway? Probably nobody.

They didn't when my ring died, but now Oura now has a recycling program:

I can't comment if it's worth the effort to send six grams worth of e-waste across the country and how much actual material can be recovered from it.
