Garmincure3 execution by hanging1/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Is it sufficient for Garmin to counter this in tech terms by just integrating with Google Health and providing their own app and access to free CIQ apps? A cash-supported Fossil could cement the future of Wear OS and, in the process, help a Wear OS-aligned Fitbit. We’ve also seen speculation of Facebook buying Fossil which might sound ridiculous but Oracle looks set to acquire the US operations of TikTok…now THAT is ridiculous. But this specifically means a future embedded with Wear OS, despite what you might think about its flaws. The only plausible future I can see for Fitbit is being owned by Google, adopting Wear OS and becoming the consumer-face of Google Health. Dig that knife in deeper Mr Garmin, then twist it a bit.ĭespite Fitbit’s nice social, health & activity platform, I just can’t see a peripheral, proprietary OS (FitOS) winning out here. Not a good week for Fitbit whichever way you look at it.Įdit: November 2020: OUCH – Garmin introduces comprehensive, advanced, pregnancy tracking. However, this week sees both Garmin’s new swipe at Fitbit with their Venu SQ plusApple’s announcement of the Apple Watch 6 SE (lower price version of AW6)…ouch! One way of looking at these two announcements is to see Garmin stealing Fitbit’s more sporty users and Apple stealing Fitbit’s Health and tech conscious users. However, the recent Fitbit SENSE and Fitbit Versa 3 together look good and seem to offer Fitbit a chance of prolonged, independent survival. FitbitĪ two-pronged approach is needed to more proactively get rid of Fitbit – TECH and HEALTH įitbit seemed to be doing a great job of running itself into the ground and the Eu has helped by stopping the Google rescue… at least for a while. How can Garmin kill the competitors off, one-by-one? If at all. Unfortunately, every other company knows that’s where the big prizes are…Samsung, Apple, Fitbit, Oppo, Huawei, Huami…it’s a long list. But bigger prizes are at stake in the larger smartwatch tech and health sectors. Garmin knows that continued leadership through innovation works in the sectors where they clearly lead.
