	Fitbit, now a subsidiary of [[Google]], is a company that produces fitness tracking devices, some of which also function as smartwatches. They acquired [[Pebble]] in 2016, and produced the Ionic, Versa series and Sense series with Pebble-like SDKs, OSes and features, but skipped out on a lot of the openness and consumer freedom that Pebble users enjoyed. Most of the anti-consumer practices came following Google's purchase of the company in 2021.
