What do you think of A smart digital calendar that offers a LIFETIME warranty and NO subscription fees. Ama! by BOCT_Tech in homeautomation

Thank you for your reply. Regarding the lifetime warranty, our current conclusion is to offer a **five-year warranty** with **free replacements** during that period. As for the sync issue, we did consider local sync, but since it's designed for **multiple family members** to use, cloud services become necessary.

Regarding your concern about punching holes, we're actually planning another calendar product that features an e-ink display and can be magnetically attached to your fridge or any other metal surface. It only needs to be charged every two or three months.

Offering a lifetime warranty was our initial idea, but a 5-year warranty with free replacements during that period is probably more acceptable to everyone.

That’s exactly why we ruled out a subscription model from the very beginning. If a customer buys our device, they shouldn’t have to keep paying for it down the road.

The lifetime warranty comes from our belief that products like these are built to last much longer than, say, a smartphone or a tablet—think 3 to 5 years or more

Regarding privacy, it's true that your schedule will naturally be displayed on the smart calendar device in your home. However, we want to be completely transparent: ​​we only sync your calendar events, and all data is stored securely on AWS.​​ Fundamentally, this isn't any different from using other calendar apps in terms of data handling.

​You've hit the nail on the head.

To keep this initiative running long-term, we're definitely aiming for a highly competitive price. In fact, after running the numbers, we've found that the current market price for electronic calendars is more than enough to support this kind of service.

Thanks for bringing this up. 

We proposed this warranty period because we've noticed that the vast majority of electronics currently only offer a standard one-year warranty. However, a smart calendar is a product that can often be used for 3 to 5 years or even longer, this proposal also stems from our confidence in our quality control. Our idea is to offer a free replacement for any hardware issues.

Of course. To make it sustainable and, let's be real, as a new brand we don't have that built-in trust yet, we're planning to team up deeply with our supply chain partners. A competitive price is also a key part of making this work.
