Buyers Should not Ignore Fitbit’s four Largest Dangers

Research firm Parks Associates estimates that the fitness tracker market could nearly triple in value from $2 billion in 2014 to $5.4 billion in 2019.

A severe economic downturn could also cause discretionary income to plunge, greatly reducing demand for all health-tracking wearables.
