This article is a goldmine lmao, but my favourite might be

There are no wake words so it’s not always listening, […] it doesn’t do anything until you engage with it, and your engagement comes through your voice

They just need to make a version that looks like a Star Trek communicator badge.

It’s a long shot, but there might be a niche for this thing among the people who are tired of being over connected. There’s a mild resurgence of dumb phones for the same reason. They absolutely have to nail usability though. If the user has frustrating interactions with it and think to themselves “This would have been easier on my phone” then they’ve basically failed, especially with that hefty monthly fee.

I won’t be a customer, but I wish them luck.

My brother in Christ, this thing is meant for set and forget on the user’s chest.

You can’t doomscroll and consume endless content. There are no apps. You can only communicate with known contacts. There is no screen to separate you from the real world. It’s a dump phone plus a digital assistant in a novel form factor.
