Given the inexpensiveness of fitness bands to the point they're giveaway devices, I don't think we can really argue that there is similar material value between this device and say, the steamdeck controller, which is also coming out at that price point.

This should be a $19.99 product.

To add to this: Fitbit is a Google company. The average user makes Google $1605 a year, and that (wide-ranging) number probably goes up with a fitness tracker!
