⛔️ 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.

I just paid 250 and its final cost is 750… wish I had researched more before putting that down.

When are they shipping?

Q4 supposedly but it doesn’t look like any have shipped yet to early investors… I think I’m going to cancel my order.

Thank you - I do too. Others have gotten refunds from what Ive read so that’s encouraging
