A gadget you throw away when the battery runs out is a very dumb idea if you ask me.

I get the upset over the battery, but it seems everyone missed this:

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'd hope they offer a discount on a new one if you send in your old.

I like Pebble, but I've been on the gadget rollercoaster too many times and until it's proven and quantified 'years of average use' means nothing.
