> too stealable, by people who will not care that a subscription is needed.

I even doubt there will be much theft of these. People will simply forget these, and stop using them.

So they showed one clipped to a jacket. Don't they take the jacket off? What's the intended usecase? That you take it off and re-attach to various clothign as you dress/undress? It also looks quite heavy, so most T-shirts and other light items of clothing are not really suitable for this.



Yep that’s a good point!

And they really doubled down on that decision by also embedding it (“pin”) in the name, if not the identity, of the product.

They could have coined a word (I’m not claiming this is not cringe) “pindant” as in a dual use pin-or-pendant item, and bought more flexibility, for example. Edit: somebody already coined that word, see the dot com (sfw), lol.
