We knew this was coming since the first rumours started circulating about Google potentially buying Fitbit. As announced at Google I/O yesterday, Fitbit will be releasing new fitness trackers and health smartwatches running Wear OS. And while for the uninitiated this might sounds good news, in reality, previous Wear OS iterations were not famous for their responsiveness, so changing the perfectly fine Fitbit OS to Wear OS doesn t fill me with confidence.
Don t get me wrong, it was pretty much inevitable for Fitbit to be assimilated into the vast Google product and service portfolio sooner rather than later, yet I can t help but feel sad about seeing the Fitbit OS go. That s even considering that Wear OS has undergone its biggest update ever and that even Samsung is on board now providing its own expertise to improve the platform.
