[AC News]

With the Fitbit shop closing down, it's truly the end of an era for the wearable brand. Fitbit will live on under Google, but it'll never be the dominant, standalone brand it once was.

I have a fitbit watch, I got it before Google decided to grab hold of them. the one advantage and the only one I see is the ability to use Google pay, which means my bank card works instead of me having to put my bank card onto a curve card and then the curve card onto my Fitbit watch.

I like my fitbit watch more so for the battery life, I can go for at least 2-3 day without recharging it, something from which I have heard can't be done with Wear OS watches, also as far as I can see Wear OS watches are always round, while that is a great shape for your normal watch I don't think it is for a smartwatch.
My fitbit does have a crack in where I dropped it months ago, I did think about replacing it, but to be honest I am not sure now what to do, I may just go back to a normal watch, I don;lt even know why I got it in the first place.

I will see how things go and how long mine lasts before it starts falling apart, but I don't like the pixel watch, too expensive and I want something where the battery lasts more than 24 hours

I did as well. I had my new Fitbit for about a month before Google took over. Then they took away the one feature that sold me on Fitbit. (Music on the device) My next device will be a Garmin...if only this Fitbit would die!!
Pixel watch was intriguing, but that exposed, irreplaceable screen doesn't work for me as I work and play in rugged places.
