Google to acquire Fitbit

[ziggy29]

I'm moving to a "dumb" watch and a "dumb" pedometer.

There’s an article today saying that Facebook was bidding against Google to acquire Fitbit (not confirmed). That would be even worse!

I agree. I have an Apple watch and was previously a Fitbit user for nearly 3 years. I love my Apple watch but ...........as a exercise device - the Fitbit was for me ....waaaaay better. I loved the computer interface and found myself faithfully working towards the "next badge". It was fun. Apple interface for fitness is B-O-R-I-N-G by comparison. I may get another Fitbit just to wear on my other wrist.

I have thought of doing that, or, rather charging up one of the Fitbits I owned pre-Apple Watch and wearing it on the other wrist. I love my Apple Watch but agree Fitbit is better for the activity part.
