Thanks you, I had to scroll down a fair bit to see someone point this out.

I am with you, I wouldn't wear one if they paid me. The data they are harvesting is a lot more valuable than the service they are providing.

I am sure health insurance companies are salivating at the opportunity to buy this data. Even if the data is anonymous.

I guess that is a concern about pretty much every service and device out there including a phone.
