There is only so many hardware people you need, FitBit already has a bunch of different watch models that all seem to do the same thing. They could do with less.

Which is funny, because turning my watch into a subscription service that won't work without an always-on internet connection is precisely what I don't want. This industry-wide trend from products to everything-as-a-subscription-service may be nice for developers craving job security but it's awful for end users.
