Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority With a commendable balance of fitness features and everyday smarts, Fitbit’s smartwatches used to be regular fixtures on our best lists. Ever since Google took the reins, I’ve witnessed a slow unraveling. It didn’t take long for once-promising wearables to start feeling deliberately held back, and the reasoning is obvious. The Pixel Watch is the brand’s sole smartwatch focus. The recent removal of Google Assistant from Fitbit’s alternative lineups is just the

Google has made it clear that the Assistant era is over . The company has been hard a work replacing Assistant with Gemini on phones, but the change is also expected to come to headphones, smartwatches, tablets, and cars. We found evidence of the tech giant preparing for the swap on Wear OS devices back in January.

My hikes are in AllTrails, my blood pressure is in Google Fit, and I wear an Oura Ring 4 that gives me more detailed sleep and wellness tracking than my c

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Google has set a final deadline of February 2, 2026, for all Fitbit users to switch to Google Accounts. Users who don’t migrate by then will lose access to their Fitbit account and all historical health data. The transition is mandatory for continued access, though users can still export or delete their data instead of migrating. If you’re still using a Fitbit account to track your health and fitness data, it’s time to start thinking about the inevitab
