I want Fitibit built into my ICD.

yeah I don't like the subscription either...hmm :(

What a gimmick. The only people this is good for are people that have real severe sleeping or food disorders. I guess its good for a gobbler nation!

A current FitBit user, and tend to believe people won't spend $100+ if they don't intend on using it to be a more educated person for getting physically fit or already are and just want to monitor their progress...

I really don't like when he said eventually we will start charging subscription plans (even if it is preimum). I think that is a good idea, but will devalue the company. Instead they should focus on building their product line, getting a mass following, and possibly charge a small fee for "battery replacements" ever yr or two. I dunno... But that subscription fee is getting me to rethink

Problem is people are too lazy to eat well and work out.

True. I think if the Fitbit shocked the shit out of your when it detects that you are slacking off, it would be far more effective as a motivational tool ;)

@rajb23 no...they are not.

Excellent problem. One problem...people are inherently lazy and wont change their bad eating and lack of exercise habits.
