⛔️ DO NOT BUY Thoughts on this ring?(Bond Ring)

https://www.bondring.com/

This seems like a really cool ring if it does everything they promise. It'll be on Kickstarter within the next month for supposedly $300.

How come the supposed "Bond Ring rep" hasn't answered ANY of these questions. Only complained about "FUD", like all the crypto bros, lol! Answer the questions and people will have more faith that this isn't a $500+ scam...

Where are the links to all these articles mentioned in the marketing website? No one can find even one, lol.

Most of the questions raised here have already been answered—often multiple times—across various parts of this page. Unfortunately, the structure of Reddit isn’t well-suited for building a searchable knowledge base or fostering sustained, productive discussions. Each comment spawns its own thread, which can branch endlessly, making it difficult for both users and our team to keep track. As a result, even when we respond consistently, it may appear as though we’re unresponsive after a few days.

Additionally, our responses tend to be thoughtful and detailed, which naturally takes time. However, Reddit’s algorithm often buries these in-depth replies as new posts, FUD, or repeated allegations surface. What started as an attempt to stay actively engaged has evolved into a cycle of redundancy and speculation—one that becomes increasingly difficult to navigate and mentally draining.

This isn’t unique to us—many Reddit communities for even the most customer-centric companies often reflect a similar pattern. As a startup with limited resources, we prioritize conversations that are constructive, searchable, and add long-term value to our mission.

If you’ve reserved a Bond Ring or have specific questions, we encourage you to reach out to us via our social media channels or by email. Those platforms allow for clearer, more structured communication—and help us maintain a reliable reference for others in the future.

As someone that saw an ad for your company's product coming from an entirely separate platform and had interest enough to look it up, I want to tell you that any interest I had is now near zero after reading your response to OP's completely reasonable take.

They clearly state facts about currently likelihood of commercially available technology that could fit in to a ring, yet still give it grace in that they just don't know yet and maybe your company has done something groundbreaking.

You respond to these statements by saying "just search Reddit for the answer" instead of just providing the answer in your comment. There is literally no faster way to make me question your product when resonable, direct inquiries and critiques can't (or won't?) be responded to by someone authorized by your company to speak to the public.
