    Read the fine print on bottom of the "rock n' run page".. it says:

        The sensor's battery is not replaceable. Battery life will vary
        considerably based on use and other factors.

    So the $64M question is, how long does the sensor's battery last?
    This could explain the low price.. $29 may be cheap, but if you're
    buying a new sensor every year, suddenly it's getting expensive.
