i did have that fitbit.have a fitbit for my dog. >> i love gadgets and my gears. >> a fitbit for your dog? >> she gets more exercise than i do. >> is he looking to upgrade to the iwatch? >> what do canines say about the iwatch, dom? >> i will tell i my dog, lucy, a 12-pound havanese, but she's there is fashion conscious. i think that's what the iwatch will be about. i wear a watch only because it still tells time. my kid brother does not even wear a watch anymore, because my question is, can you makes it sexy enough that people will want to wear it as an access our. the best part about my fitbit want that it tracked any more of my steps, but it also showed how well i slept, so if this new sensor can tell me more about my health, i might be inclined, ease federally if it looks nice. >> i think dom gets to the point there's a whole new world, ability to, for instance, monitor your glucose levels without ricking your finger. there's so much potential here. >> dom hit at two things. one, it can't look as bad as

when you think about things like fitbit, it is not used for a long enough time, but a great statistic i saw a recently as over the past two years, people who wore fitbit walked 2.4 trillion steps, the equivalent of walking from here to saturn. it's kind of incredible. you need to measure reward. people respond when they have a reward at the end of it. just seeing your steps are seeing a measurement is not enough. you have to give people a prize. give them an opportunity to be rewarded for what they are doing. >> scott, when you think about how widespread watches could potentially be, do you think it could become as big as a smart phone market or will never come close? >> i tend to agree more with the latter of those two conclusions, emily. the way we think about this is, as was just referenced, a lot of companies have introduced a lot of related products and, to be frank, it seems like notwithstanding the enthusiasm, these offerings have not had sustainable success, i would argue to a large extent and it's kind of interesting this is something people can buy to improve their lives yet

i have my fitbit says i walk about 18 steps all day.oey fat one there for a while. what is the -- >> tyler, i think this fitness space. i tried out the other devices. it's clearly a huge space, but a tip of theitis berg, but it's a crowded space. samsung, apple launching what sounds like a competitor service to what google is trying to do. i think it remains to be seen if you need -- if you can just go to your fitbit app. or jawbone, and track it on your own. >> jon, the fittest man i know. hey, it remains to be seen. sure, the opportunity is as huge as our waistlines have become in america, but they have to be careful to not make this like the nanny, how many steps did you walk today? or else people will take -- >> love my fitbit, frankly. >>> all right, guys, kevin mckathy seems set to take over the job of house majority leader after eric cantor's surprising defeat. a look at the man who may have gop behind him in report time. just take a closer look. it works how you want to work. with a fidelity investment professional... or managin

i love fitbit and, you know, as a wearable technology.t's still a little bit early in the wearable space. for us, mobile and specifically smartphones and tablets, that's the here and now. that is driving the business. we experiment on the margins with some of these more futuristic technologies, but they're not going to move the needle for any publishers. >> this piper survey today asks people if they would buy an apple iwatch at $350, percentage of yes, 14%. 14%. and they also say even at a lower price point, it's hard to get people to get -- to be interested in this beyond sort of the fitbit notion. >> it will happen. there's no question. i wouldn't want to be a watch manufacturer right about now because, i mean, i'm sure watch sales must already be down worldwide because already, i only wear a watch half the time because i check my phone which has the clock on it, right? so as more of this technology moves away, i think -- there's the next industry that will be disrupted. 500-year-old industry of watch manufacturer sxwlg if you had aske

i'm assuming fitbit -- >> all of them. >> is that game over? >> i don't know.ut it depends on what the device is like. we understand it's rather large, though. may not work for different people. probably not aimed at women i think possibly. you know? it's interesting. >> large like the samsung watch? >> samsung. >> can i say that's big and ugly? can i say that on the air? >> whatever you want. i'm borrowing it from my wife. >> that's interesting. >> wears it regularly? >> started to play around with it a little bit. what's the big issue, apple with the new operating system, you basically need an iphone to be able to answer the call on your computer, start an e-mail on the iphone, answer it on the computer and same thing with the watches to get all the impact. you will need to be an android or ios and like the '80s or '90s as an mac or pc person. >> will you wear one? >> i don't know. i haven't really gotten on board with the health revolution. i don't think i get enough sleep. i think as soon as i start sleeping more, maybe then i can start monitoring it. i don

laughter and applause ] back in my day, we didn't wear high-tech fitness bracelets from jawbone and fitbithe nike fuelband. maybe it couldn't track your sleeping habits, but it was just as good at letting people know that you're a sporty douchebag with too much money to throw around. [ laughter and applause ] back in my day, taco bell didn't serve breakfast. unheard of! if you were eating taco bell before 9:00 a.m., it's because you left a chalupa in your car. [ laughter ] simpler times, simpler times. back in my day, we didn't have a black president with gray hair. he had black hair, and he looked a lot younger. hell, for all we know, he probably was. back in my day, if you had a question, you didn't google it and have the answer in a fraction of a second. no, sir, you had to ask someone. his name was jeeves and -- [ laughter ] -- he took at least a couple of seconds to get back to you. and you used those couple of seconds to spend time with your family.

now, i was using fitbit for a while. i don't know. i -- i think this is where the apple brand name can play a role. you say, you know what? i'm going to check this out. it's interesting. i was going to get -- i mentioned the other day i'm going to buy a surface this weekend, and i got an e-mail, don't buy it, wow, they listen, and their take away is, jim, don't buy a surface. here's something that i think, you know what? i want one. i want to have -- all my -- the people -- the doctors i see want you to know more about yourself. i feel -- i see a world where i download this to my doctor before i see it. >> right, right. >> a smart doctor should want to see my downloads. >> the journal says ten, maybe more than ten different types of sensors, obviously, as you point out, focused on health and fitness. >> right. >> do you think it needs to be more than just a health watch? a health and fitness data gatherer? >> i got to defer to kevin plank who has done a lot of work on this, and i think the answer is that, yes, it has to be more and mo
