At a quick glance this looks cool!

I just have a hard time justifying things like this when the apple watch + iphone work so well. But i'm sure at some point the apple experience will get worse and push people to other OS like windows is

20$

1200$

I have an easier time justifying this

Here are few reasons that justify its existance.

* Different form factor

* Not tied to Apple Ecosystem.

* Price

* You can even use it independently (without phone).

I dont understand this attitude.

If this is how you feel about technology why are you not on the verge instead of HACKER news?

Everyone I know that has a smart watch charges it overnight. How do you propose using it to track sleep?

Your question implies the answer; charge it at different times and wear it to bed?

Remember the context of my quip is in reply to "I don't see the value in the ring, just buy a $1200 watch and phone combo and make sure you charge your watch while you're out living your life, not when you're asleep."

Still seems pretty clear as to why someone would find value in the ring. Another poster says he charges his ring while he showers. It's that quick. I'm not knocking smart-*, just reacting to the dismissive "why would anyone want this" attitude of GP.
