The Fitbit Flex, which retails for $99.95, costs $17.36 to make, including both materials and manufacturing costs, according to the teardown analysis. IHS projects that shipments of Fitbit Flex and similar activity monitors will triple within the next five years.
For now, the Charge is truly an improved reboot of the Fitbit Force, but thatâs about it. If youâre looking for a comprehensive fitness tracker to give you a bigger picture of your overall health, wait patiently and save your pennies for the Charge HR (again, at only $20 more), due in early 2015.
