Fieldy 3 is the other necklace in this aisle: a 17 g polycarbonate square that hangs on a cord or twists into a watch strap and turns a conversation you chose to capture into a transcript, a summary and a task list. It is on sale at fieldy.ai for $129. That is the SKU this page scores. Earlier Fieldy hardware is not a separate listing.
It is ranked because it ships. It does not rank near the capture cards or the titanium ring, and it should not: a square on a cord is a weaker worn object than a ring, and a single unpublished-range microphone is a weaker capture score than a table array.
What it is
A 29 × 29 × 11 mm module in polycarbonate, with a MEMS microphone, USB-C, IP65 splash resistance and a twist-lock so the same body can be a pendant or a watch. Fieldy’s press kit and device guide agree on 17 g. They do not publish a pickup range or a microphone count beyond “High-performance MEMS microphone”, so those fields are one mic and no range rather than a guess.
You start a session in the app — “Start Transcribing” / “End Transcribing”. Each conversation stops on its own at three hours. Offline, Fieldy 3 will hold about three days of average use and sync when the phone is back. The phone needs internet for the AI. iOS and Android apps ship; a desktop app covers online meetings on Mac and Windows. There is no web companion in the schema sense, and this page does not invent one.
The founder has called Fieldy 3 always-on in public posts. The device guide on Fieldy’s own site is the specification this page uses: it transcribes when you tell it to. Marketing that contradicts the manual is noted, not encoded.
Battery is “up to 7 days on a single charge, typical use.” That is not a continuous-capture hour figure, which is why this page omits a capture-hour spec rather than printing 168 hours as if it were Bee. Sessions are capped at three hours in software regardless.
Memories: 150 transcription minutes a month are included. Unlimited is $15.99 a month billed yearly, or $19.99 billed monthly. This page encodes $15.99/month, the cheaper billed-yearly SKU, as the paid option — not as a requirement to wear the necklace. Minutes count when voice is detected.
Living with it
The job is notes. Fieldy distinguishes speakers, summarises on a tap, pulls action items and lets you search the archive. Intelligence in this ranking is transcription, recap and whether a standalone agent can act from the body. Fieldy does the first two in the phone. It does not document connectors into other tools, and it does not talk back from the pendant.
Privacy is session-based, which is the right default for a necklace in a room. Audio is kept only long enough to transcribe, then deleted; the text remains. Fieldy says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, processed in US or EU SOC 2 centres you choose, and never sold. A recording light shows solid white while a session is active. The same settings screen can switch that light off. This page still marks a recording indicator, because the hardware has one, and still scores the off-switch as a reservation: a light you can hide is not a bystander guarantee. File export of audio or transcripts is not documented, so it is listed as absent.
Capture is the structural limit. One microphone, no range, app-started sessions. A pendant that needs the phone out to begin will miss the conversation this category exists to catch unless you thought to start it. The Plaud NotePin long-presses on the body. Bee just listens. Fieldy waits for the app.
Who it is for
Someone who wants a cheap necklace or watch that will keep a transcript of a meeting they remembered to start, on iPhone or Android, without storing the tape. If the job is a table of four, a file you can export, or a device you invoke without unlocking a phone, this is the wrong object. The Plaud Note Pro is the card that hears a room. The Bee Pioneer is the clip that runs for a week. Fieldy 3 is the $129 session pendant, scored as one.
