The Google-Fitbit acquisition closes out a decade of wearable starts and stops — some more bizarre than others. Now, Big Tech has won. What does this mean for the future of wearables? (Spoiler alert: Almost none of the wearables in this story still exist) https://t.co/ehnV0DUhJE

Longform thoughts on today's Fitbit acquisition. I'm not pulling any punches here. https://t.co/xRT0FUAvJm

Fitbit acquisition doesn't seem to be an attempt it replace or bolster the WearOS platform. It may purely be a play to have a presence in fitness tracking space - which Apple, slowly but surely, has owned with Apple Watch. It is no longer just about smartwatch. https://t.co/3BsqUNsK8T

“In a way, Google acquiring Fitbit is sort of perfect...Much like Wear OS itself, Google is investing in a loser”

Ouch ? https://t.co/VHn5G9vJEU
I agree that Apple Watch is probably the best wearable, but it doesn’t work with Android. So I don’t know why pundits and analysts think it’s too late for Google to catch up. The large majority of smartphone users simply can’t use Apple Watch.

Google doesn't want to let Apple run away with the health-tracking market, but it may be too late https://t.co/9StI8xayu4 pic.twitter.com/fy6DCBli3a

Google bought Fitbit to keep Apple from dominating health-tracking but is it too late? They might need a lot deeper medical capabilities? ;) @chrissyfarr https://t.co/r67rvEM30L

Good look by @chrissyfarr at Google's $2-billion-plus acquisition of struggling wearables company Fitbit. https://t.co/Gpd8ogqiYZ

While everyone fixates on Facebook—for good reason—Google keeps hoovering up all the intimate data. https://t.co/BHCJDXSBRQ

Even if Google vows not to sell ads against your health data, it could find other creative ways to monetize whatever you’re sharing through your wrist.
