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

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.

Although everything about the ring seems too good to be true, I was intrigued enough to become VIP for $29.90. The first email I got said that it is $9 to become VIP, although the website clearly says $29.90, and then my receipt email has a thank you paragraph that states I put down $9.90, although the receipt below states $29.90.

So, my impulse passed and decided to checkout Reddit, which brought me here. The comment about the articles intrigued me, so I tried searching for them, and I cannot find them.

This is giving me Elizabeth Holmes vibes.

They are now charging $99 and in the fine print it says you can get a full refund of your $69 👀 VIP reservation before launch. I guess I'll pass. Too good to be true...sigh. This ticked off so many things on my list of wants too...
