I can literally buy a $30 Chinese smartwatch that does 95% of what Fitbit and their $200 devices claim. The Chinese product spies on me less, has better customer service, and isn't asking me to join their stupid service which just locked up parts of the device that used to come with it. I'm surprised that they haven't imploded already.

My $10 Chinese smartwatch actually does more than my wife's fitbit. The fitbit app syncs with her weight-watcher's account, which is the only reason she bought it, and is the only thing it can do that mine can't.
