I can't wait for the Vybe 2, which by their own definition will be less intelligent than this model.


I read through the whole page thinking it was a satiric play on the whole life monitor fad, especially since Fitbit just released a new bracelet model. When I realized it was a real product, I started thinking to myself what situations it would actually help with. I couldn't come up with any besides their beach/boating one, and the only reason that has potential is because I'd probably have my phone tucked away in a dry bag. ... Moreover, I couldn't think of any realistic circumstance where I'd be doing something away from my phone where I'd actually rather be notified that my phone is ringing than ignore it. Finally, bluetooth range wouldn't even cover my whole house, nor would it help with the more frequent circumstance of leaving my phone plugged into a charger on my desk while I walk around the office.

Who is the target audience?
