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. | '''[[wikipedia:Fitbit|Fitbit]]''', now a subsidiary of [[Google]], is a company that produces fitness tracking devices, some of which also function as smartwatches.

Following Google's focus on Gemini, Google quietly deprecated Google Assistant for devices they considered "legacy". This included Fitbit Versa 3 and Sense devices that were still being newly sold just over 2 years ago, which were now only capable of using Amazon Alexa. Around this time, Google launched a marketing campaign showing their new Gemini assistant on Pixel Watch devices. | Following Google's focus on Gemini, Google quietly deprecated Google Assistant for devices they considered "legacy".
