mark, 30 Jan 2017To save the company that much, everyone of those 160 people... moreWell, a few high earning managers could be included too, also bonuses, materials, education, benefits, taxes etc... there are a lot of ways in which a company can spend money on a worker besided the salary.

    Hotkolbas, 30 Jan 2017Fitbit did make the smartwatch world known but like all goo... moreWell said. A surge user from early 2015. Honestly there are better fitness trackers available. I really loved the MS Band 2 but the hardware quality is awful. It was replaced 5 times in a year. But then I moved to Fenix 3 HR - a game changer. The best tracker I have used so far. I am very excited about the Fenix 5x but not sure if I will upgrade by this year end. The reviews will decide that.

      Fitbit did make the smartwatch world known but like all good things at the time they just stood form and watch the world pass by.

      Given the state of all smart watches they have all the options of a fitbit and much more.

      I like my ugly duckling surge because of its battery life and killer sunlight legability. ... apart from that not much going for it that any smart watch these days has.

            To save the company that much, everyone of those 160 people would be earning 1.25 million dollars annually. That's unlikely
