The wearer will at some point in time need to check it in a dark or poorly illuminated place and I really doubt, based on the display as seen in the pictures, that there's absolutely no illumination.
It also states on the product website that it uses "sunlight-visible, transflective 8 color memory-in-pixel (MIP)". Though I have no idea what exactly it means, I have a feeling it's similar to eInk displays.

Sushant Sic, 27 Dec 2017One Year Battery Life? What exactly does it mean? I am not sure if your asking, or being sarcastic or ....etc
Anyway answering your question
It means that you don't have to charge it two times or even one time a week unlike other trackers that need to be charged
This also means someone can put it on their wrist and don't take it off for a long time.
No need for additional chargers or cables .
No stress about charging it.

Only 1 year of battery, very bad why are not 2 years?
There is always someone who is not happy.
P.S. excellent product for which you look for something like what they offer

Ya interesting with a 1+ year of charge. I wonder if they have some sort of gravity engaged charging system sort of like the self winding watches or if it receives a charge wirelessly some how? Interested to know how this is possible especially for 80 dollars.
