We weren't making any money off of them and the 100% failure rate of Band 2 doomed the project.
Which sucked, customers loved us and we had features that still aren't matched by anything else on the market even today.
- hammyhavoc 2y agoWow, can I just say that my family and I loved our Bands? We had issues with the plastics breaking down on the first gen (had them replaced a few times due to them becoming unwearably uncomfortable due to it within the space of a couple months), but I'll be damned if it wasn't one of my favourite gadgets of all time in terms of tasteful design and innovative ideas. Many a familial glass of wine was raised to whoever you might have been whilst discussing how much we loved them!
