Personally, I wouldn't like to wear this around because i don't think it looks fashionable, even though it is arguable whether it is aesthetically pleasing. Most of the functions here can be done with a smartphone or smartwatch. I feel like it is easier to forget to clip this on your clothes than to forget to bring your phone out. In the video that introduces this product, they show a person exercising and recording his thoughts. Even though it seems more convenient than taking a phone out to record a though, technology nowadays is sufficient enough to record it while wearing earphones for example.
Moreover, the speech to text function can already be done on most smart phone or smart watches which makes this device more insignificant. The charger also seems very hard to use as they stack multiple chargers on top of each other. It is also very specific to this device which i think is very inconvenient because if they had to travel, not only do they have to bring the device, they would also have to bring the charger. I feel like it might get lost very easily as it is dark, small and light. It would probably be hard to notice even if it falls off or if someone stole it.
Furthermore, the privacy issue with this product could be a huge problem. Lets say a hacker hacks this device, they would be able to hear everything you say extremely clearly, also more than likely, this device has less defence than a smartphone. It provides hackers ways to listen into your conversation through out the whole day and extract plenty of information from you.
