  • Why did Google buy Fitbit? The Rise and Rise of Wearable Technology.
    How does Fitbit work? What is Fitbit Premium? Fitbit vs Apple Watch? Which is the best smart watch? How did the Nintendo Wii influence the creation of Fitbit? Who are James Park and Eric Friedman? How valuable is Fitbit's data? How do the Fitbit Versa and Ionic compare to the world's other top smart watches?
    This is the story of how Google acquired Fitbit for $2.1 billion dollars and how the wearable tech industry is transforming the way we live our lives.
    Here's How It Happened.

    I agree with the challenges being removed, I only bought the fit bit for the inspiration of my friends to get me moving more as it's so hard for me alone!! 😢😅

    I wish the versas and sense straps were easier to take off and put on like the Charge 4

      @HERO Dad Travel Vlogs My point is: When I am wearing my Fitbit, I don't want to be another experiment for when I work out, when I don't work out, How many steps I took, When I went to gym, when I left the gym. I am saying I don't want ANOTHER Tracking device for Google to monitor me for their Profit and Scientific Motives!

      @@HowItHappened google and peoples data, what can possibly go wrong. How long before peoples fitbit data ends up in the hands of medical insurers etc ?... wudnt bother me but for people who rely on medical insurance, itll be another 24/7 snooping tool with data for sale to anyone for a few bucks !

      What do you guys honestly think is going to happen with that data?
      So far you've said: "I don't want Google to monitor my uses so that it can make better products for me down the line"... Because that's what's going to happen, and that's all that's going to happen
