this is a device that would potentially last years though, not months — if you're in the niche of needing something like this you're paying less than $10 a month (maybe as low as $5)... doesn't net out too terribly in exchange for not charging

We did it guys, we made physical devices usable only if you treat them as a SaaS otherwise you're sol when battery runs out

		that's a pretty lame take, all I did was break down the cost to the lifespan of the device it's useful to think of a lot of things this way, I also justify clothing purchases on a rough estimate of cost per wear

Right, and an Oura would be usable for a decade because it has a rechargeable battery.

		sure but the Oura does a bunch of unrelated stuff specific to health and also has to be charged twice a week? they're not even comparable products
