There is another necklace in the aisle besides Friend. Fieldy 3 is a 17 g polycarbonate square that hangs on a cord or twists into a watch strap, and Fieldy’s shop is selling it now at $129 (Fieldy; Fieldy press kit). One hundred and fifty transcription minutes a month come with the hardware. Unlimited is $15.99 a month billed yearly, or $19.99 billed monthly.
It is a session device, not an always-on log. The device guide is the spec: tap Start Transcribing in the app, tap End, and a conversation stops on its own at three hours (Fieldy 3 device guide). Audio is deleted after the transcript exists. A recording light shows white during a session; the same settings screen can switch that light off. Fieldy quotes up to seven days of typical use, not a continuous-capture hour figure, and publishes no pickup range.
That is enough to rank. It is not enough to sit next to the capture cards. Friend talks back and still needs an iPhone in range. Bee listens for a week. Limitless was the always-on pendant with a consent light, and is no longer sold. Fieldy 3 is the cheap session necklace that ships worldwide. The Fieldy 3 page is the review.
