alt Hacker NewsEven if the battery lasts "years", it still seems wildly irresponsible to make this a single use device. I suspect this thing will get very few sales because it's single use.

how often do you replace your phone? in terms of weight/waste this is probably in the area of about 1/50th of one... you could wear these for ~100 years and produce the maybe the equivalent waste of 2 phones.
The phrase "single use" applies better to condoms than to wearables that you use every day for 500-1000 days, IMO.
