There's your answer right there. If people keep buying then why would they charge less?

I didn't buy a single one. I was gifted all three by different people. And they likely bought it because it has the highest brand recall of all fitness trackers outside of Apple.

Because the name has a ring to it and brand lock-in is very powerful?
