V. Confused As To Why Google Is Pushing TIGHT ‘Fitbit’ Integration With Its New ‘Wear OS’ Pixel Smartwatch.

Click to ENLARGE. From ‘Google’.

Of course I know that Google bought ‘Fitbit‘ & that Fitbit has a very impressive 31 million user base. But, that doesn’t mean that the FLAGSHIP ‘Wear OS‘ watch should have tight Fitbit integration. That is the tail wagging the dog. That is not how it should be.

There should, of course, be a migration & data import facility FROM Fitbit to Wear OS.

If I get the Pixel watch (which I am sure to), I want to use just Wear OS & Google FIT. Yes, having owned Fitbits in the past I do have a Fitbit account. But there is no way I want to use that Fitbit account with my new Wear OS Pixel watch.

I want full, tight, seamless integration with Google, Android & my Pixel 6 Pro phone. Period. That is what it is supposed to be all about. The Google Android ecosystem across both watch & phone. No Fitbit.

So, I am not happy right now. But, we will wait & see.
