Given who it is selling it, and particularly the whole week advertised battery life, I can't help but think this is going to end up marketed towards employers wanting to monitor their workers 24/7.

I mean, I would love an anklet that tracks my biometrics for a week at a time

Same ones that carry gps's with microphones and several cameras and other sensors in their pockets all day which are controlled by these very types of corporations. Also the same ones that double down and wear the ones with additional sensors on their wrists.
