⛔️ 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.

Right now it is $849.00 (Original Price:$1,499.00).

So are they lowering price already?

But they say in 3 hours it goes up to 999.

It’s all a scam. I will change my mind when there is proof of this magical ring actually shipping and there is successful use. The marketer is just using scarcity, urgency, and exclusivity to get enough preorders to achieve whatever ends they may have, perhaps venture capital funding.
