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](https://proton.me/blog/what-is-your-data-worth-to-google) makes Google $1605 a year, and that (wide-ranging) number probably goes up with a fitness tracker!

I really don't get why earbuds do not have much of the health device functionaility. Seems the perfect place for temp, o2, heartrate, etc and theoretically you should be able to judge steps from any point but between the phone and this you could triangulate.
