Of course, Fitbit was very upset by the study and said it wasn't true.<br />Well, a study like that will probably really hurt its business.<br />Well, their products are very popular, so people will still most likely buy them.<br />Do you wear your Fitbit often or just when you're exercising?<br />I wear it all day, every day. I even wear it when I'm sleeping.<br />Wow, that's impressive. Isn't it uncomfortable?<br />No, not at all.<br />Maybe I should get one.<br />You should. I really like mine.
