What does the Google-Fitbit deal mean for Wear OS?

1. Nice video

2. The 4th opinion google sell fit bit to facebook

3. Fitbit is about to be killed by Google. That is what apple, Google do. They get them out of competition and kill them.

4. RIP Fitbit (and add it to that Killed by Google-website). Next: Garmin.

5. Google buys fitbit, launches amazing products and sells the company or Kills off the product 😤

6. Me: I’m glad I use an Apple Watch 🤷‍♂️

7. I think they will co-exist. While at the same time Wear OS could improve on its fitness tracking capabilities now that they have insights into FitBit's system, software and hardware wise.

8. I still have a Pebble Watch, which FitBit ended up buying, which is now owned by Google. So I technically have a Google Watch now.

9. I love my charge 4! I use it for fit bit pay, counting my steps and getting notifications from my phone. Its small, sleek and I stand apart from the apple watch crew.

10. Wear os isn't going anywhere.

11. This is my honest opinion. I will be hated a lot for this, but the reason no gives a damn about this channel is that they don't make any proper videos. Look at their subscriber count. AA hasn't even grown 10k subs since more than 7 months. They make all these 4 minute videos, but, they rarely make 10 minute proper videos. Some people in the team are biased about certain products. Joshua Vergara was the first to realise that he was working for a stupid channel. Him leaving was no joke, and now even David Imel left. This was never a good channel. In the 8 year old video iPhone 5 vs Galaxy S3 drop test, the idiot who did the testing threw the S3 ruthlessly 3 times on its screen, and dropped the iPhone 5 gently on its corner and back. This channel is very old, that is why it is gaining subscribers so slowly

12. I find it funny, but perhaps I'm wrong? Isn't the Newest Sense Fitbit's top spec device. or perhaps you said Versa 3 because most people only use that one? I'm really confused because the Sense (which I have) is superbly amazing. They finally managed to integrate Google Assistant into the wearable for Canada and it runs fantastic. Only small complaint is voice call feature, that you can tell was more of an afterthought addon.

13. I just want that pixel watch already

14. Samsung (Tyzen Os) and apple are the company who killed wear os 😂

15. They could've done something great with Wear OS, but it's like taking something out of the refrigerator and forgetting you did that only to see that it's spoiled.

16. Hey man do you know the app called touchpal I have it randomly installed apparently it's a nuisance it's not even allowed on the Play Store and Android doesn't really approve off it as well it won't let me force stop it I can't clear data or cache either any suggestions???

17. Google main focus from this acquisition is to steal more data from people to show more adds 👎🏻

18. My (unpopular) opinion: both OS on their own are shit. Wear OS on my LG G Watch R is slow, laggy. Sucks battery life like crazy (6h usage with very low display brightness). Fitbits OS is ok, but their Android App is garbage.

19. They will kill it after a while. Like almost everything they do

20. I don't agree with these takes. Except for #3. I think they will coexist for a while and then Google will make WearOS better by using Qualcomm's better chip and take features from FitbitOS. Then, since WearOS is fixed, Google will make Pixel Watch. Then, Fitbit devices will stop being made, but still supported. And if you want a fitness tracker like the Fitbit Charge, then Google will make a Pixel Watch Lite. Pixel Watch, Pixel Watch Lite, and Pixel Watch Pro? Like they did with Nest.

21. I hope they combine the best of both of them

22. i know one plus is supposed to working with google on improving their wear os for their own smart watch thats supposed to be coming out so i don't think they will abandon wear os.

23. Das Chaos wird jetzt sichtbar gemacht. Zuerst kommt das Chaos, danach die göttliche Ordnung: wir-kl-ich-keit de. <3

24. Google will kill this in one year

25. From Pakistan 🇵🇰

26. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

    I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

    It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

    The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

    HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

    I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

    BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

    It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

    Thanks and God bless!

27. That's what Apple did with "Beats" to eradicate competition in the headphone market, and that's why they bought Beats before entering the headphone market, now Google's doing that to resurrect "WearOS". I say, really a smart move by multi-billion dollar companies to avoid competition.

29. Dropcam cameras worked great. Nest bought them out and quality went down. Google bought Nest now that system is crap. I just bailed on using Fitbit after years.

30. Google should (and I'm sure they do) buy the Apple watch, study it and offer all its features but for a couple hundred dollars less, make it compatible with Android and…success!

31. Still can't believe Google can't get YouTube Music on Wear OS. Their own service on their own platform.

33. Hope it's not #1

34. Wear Os should have a Lite or Go edition to work with less powerful hardware. And it needs a separate Wear Os team to work on it.
