I have a normal friend who doesn't like smart watches, but who wants to monitor his sleep/activity for health reasons.

It's not all rich idiots who pay for this.

The difference between a $30 ring and $400 ring is $370 of profit margin

You can't get a ticking time bomb ring because the US doesn't have that level of manufacturing capability
