7. Partnerships that they take a cut out of
8. Brand loyalty that puts customers buying from them above other retailers
Walmart and Kmart were head-to-head competitors. They offered incredibly similar products, had similar retail footprints (for a time), and paid the same wages. Eventually, Walmart shut down Kmart. It essentially came down to organizational excellence. Walmart had it and Kmart did not.
Frankly, it's no different than Amazon. They eat every other online retailer's lunch primarily due to the operational effectiveness. They have leveraged that advantage over the years so that they can now expand into new market segments. They can be wildly successful while offering the best prices on the products that matter the most.
Suddenly a $110 watch costs you $230 for the first year, or $350 for 2 years. At that point you should have just gotten a real smartwatch.

Now guess if the massive Costco profits (hugely higher than Target, Walmart, Kroger, Sams) comes from customers pocket or Mars.

If you're taking about the Fitbit membership, I think you're undercounting it.

HRM seems to be pretty decent for everything but weightlifting according to the reviews I've watched.
I'm sincerely asking since I would like another fitness tracker and Fitbit does make decent products for the price, but at this point I don't know if I'm a sucker that keeps giving them money.
