They could’ve done something great with Wear OS, but it’s like taking something out of the refrigerator and forgetting you did that only to see that it’s spoiled.
Hey man do you know the app called touchpal I have it randomly installed apparently it’s a nuisance it’s not even allowed on the Play Store and Android doesn’t really approve off it as well it won’t let me force stop it I can’t clear data or cache either any suggestions???
Google main focus from this acquisition is to steal more data from people to show more adds 👎🏻
My (unpopular) opinion: both OS on their own are shit. Wear OS on my LG G Watch R is slow, laggy. Sucks battery life like crazy (6h usage with very low display brightness). Fitbits OS is ok, but their Android App is garbage.
They will kill it after a while. Like almost everything they do
I don’t agree with these takes. Except for #3. I think they will coexist for a while and then Google will make WearOS better by using Qualcomm’s better chip and take features from FitbitOS. Then, since WearOS is fixed, Google will make Pixel Watch. Then, Fitbit devices will stop being made, but still supported. And if you want a fitness tracker like the Fitbit Charge, then Google will make a Pixel Watch Lite. Pixel Watch, Pixel Watch Lite, and Pixel Watch Pro? Like they did with Nest.
I hope they combine the best of both of them
i know one plus is supposed to working with google on improving their wear os for their own smart watch thats supposed to be coming out so i don’t think they will abandon wear os.

That’s what Apple did with “Beats” to eradicate competition in the headphone market, and that’s why they bought Beats before entering the headphone market, now Google’s doing that to resurrect “WearOS”. I say, really a smart move by multi-billion dollar companies to avoid competition.

Dropcam cameras worked great. Nest bought them out and quality went down. Google bought Nest now that system is crap. I just bailed on using Fitbit after years.
Google should (and I’m sure they do) buy the Apple watch, study it and offer all its features but for a couple hundred dollars less, make it compatible with Android and…success!
Still can’t believe Google can’t get YouTube Music on Wear OS. Their own service on their own platform.
Hope it’s not #1
The one valuable feature that Fitbit is winning is Sleep tracking. Fitbit was one of original pioneers in tracking it. Apple can’t do, because they use so much battery life during the day, and a strategic move on Google’s part since they suck at wearable tech.
Or 4. They team up with Samsung and make a fitbit/wear os/tizen hybrid.
Does Fitbit have access to all apps in Google marketplace???
People expected better watches and wear os on fitbit since the acquisition, but instead they took the tech and built their own pixel watch and started pushing out updates on existing fitbits crippling or bricking them. You’d have to have rocks in your head to buy any wear owned by google after how shady they’ve been. Also let’s not forget google has a pile of tech company corpses in its closet. It destroys nearly every smaller company it acquires after taking its tech.
