Google Assistant is fully shutting down on Fitbit smartwatches, with the app having only ever launched for two watches.

    So they’re taking a shitty tech trend away from the few people who found it useful in order to push the new shitty tech trend.

        Other than Gmail, I don’t trust Google to keep maintaining any service.

    I will never forgive Fitbit. I had one of their watches some years back that shit the bed about 1 week after the warranty was up. Their customer service suggested I just buy a new watch.

    And that I did but it certainly wasn’t a Fitbit.

    Never depend on anything Google.

    They could have replaced the Google Assistant with their new Gemini thing on these waches (since I think they basically just relay voice to and from the phone). But, being Google, they prefer just to remove features people already paid for.

    They’re shutting down Assistant everywhere, in favour of Gemini.
