If the service and the app are of such high quality, they shouldn't require a one-year commitment with no option to cancel without paying for the entire year. By the time you discover that the app is overly complex and provides no useful feedback based on your habits, you're already committed. They offer one month for free, but that's insufficient to realize the service's lack of value. The wristband becomes unpleasant with time, and when it gets wet, it becomes uncomfortable to wear and loses its visual appeal.
