A wrist-worn doohickey for health tracking and notifications will become commonplace if a compelling product can hit the $199 price point.

@alexkingorg I’m not so sure. Will have to be _really_ compelling, I think.
@gregr I’ve been wearing my Pebble more and more because of the utility value of the notifications. I miss stuff otherwise.
@alexkingorg but i think it will take more than all of the Alexes (techies) in the world to make it commonplace.
@gregr hence the “compelling” part – it needs to be something people want to wear for fashion reasons.

I say $79. I think $199 works for multi-function devices. “Health” is single function from a consumer perspective, i think.
People pay $99 for a fitbit/fuelband now. Add notifications to that and I think they will pay more.
We shall see!
