I would think the battery life should be fairly good since it doesn’t have a display. I guess it has WiFi and/or BT though, but WiFi shouldn’t be too big of a battery drain. And it isn’t always listening if you have to push a button to use voice commands, so that will conserve battery too.
I still think it would have been way more cool as a Star Trek communicator badge to wear on a shirt!  Even better if they used Scotty’s voice instead of Alexa’s voice! 
Does it even have a speaker? I’m guessing probably not... |
The band is titanium, but there is a bulge on top (where a stone would be set on a normal ring) that I think is plastic. At least when I tap it with my other ring it sound duller than the band.
It pairs with my phone with Bluetooth, and uses the phones calling and texting features, but I haven't tried those yet so I don't know how they work.
Yea a Star Trek communicator badge would be cool, but then the volume would have to be way louder (and less private) than holding you hand near your face allows.
Yes, there is a speaker/microphone opposite the top bulge and it seems to be sensitive/loud enough. But probably not for noisy environments.
And BTW, Scotty's communicator was a flip phone.
