OT - Anyone know what this bracelet thingy is?

Found at the beach.
No markings other than that multiple bar symbol. A blue light flashes below it periodically.
One side button which when pressed will cause a low volume buzzing. Click again and a slower buzzing. Click again and the buzzing stops.

Micro USB connection on the side of the black portion when I pop it out of the bracelet.
But nothing comes up when I plug it into my Mac.

It appears as though you are the first human to be selected to communicate with our alien overlords.

Try saying "Gort, Klaatu Nikto Barrado."

(or something like that - going purely on non-silicone based memory)

Good news, I just decoded it - those little bars mean "To serve man."

We're all set - they're here to help us, and will surely solve all our problems.

Uhh, it's the link to the microchip in that was injected with the covid vaccine. Every time you press the button the person who is paired with the device wets their pants and buys a copy of Microsoft Windows 8. Bill shall have his revenge!

Just out of curiosity....how many times did you press the button?

Plate of shrimp, cosmic unconsciousness, UFOs, Mayans, flying saucers, time machines - it's all part of the cosmic unconsciousness.

Sounds like a Nigerian organized crime plot to get gullible Americans to download their potent virusware onto secure computer devices.

I self-extracted my coronavirus microchip and plugged it into a spare spot on the motherboard of my computer. I'm safe on both fronts now.

Lots of great answers, I’m wondering if it’s some type of health monitoring equipment?

BTW, that bar thing reminds me of the Cisco logo:

Serious answer.

To me it looks like a HR monitor, like a Fitbit kind of thing.

I'm guessing the USB port is probably just for charging, if it's a simple unit. A few don't have GPS or recording capability - I looked for one for my then little guy to wear while he ran around the playground. Figured it'd be fun to have a Strava path of his playground routine.

Button must be to change what you see (HR, time, etc), maybe for limits or laps, or possibly settings, like for time or something.
