Fitness bands too expensive? How about $1 per month? – updated


Credit: Pivotal Living

Not convinced? Pivotal's Life Tracker 1 fitness band also comes with optional free replacement every year two years. At that time, your total cost is $12 $24 + if you renew, you get a free update to the latest model.

Compare that with the up-front-cost of any another tracker.

Update: apparently, at this time, its pre-order, in the USA only. Other areas promised for 2015.

If you have an Android phone, don't be put off: all of the app screen shots show an iPhone, but the FAQ promises apps for both iOS & Android at release, plus desktop apps coming in 2015.
