A recent report claims that Fitbit is discontinuing its smartwatch lineups, and Google’s evasive response only adds fuel to the fire.

    At this point I don’t try out any new service from Google because I know it’s just gonna go away after a couple years. They have become such shit

      It’s not just Google though. Realistically, don’t go for any device that requires an online component. Just look at the recent news:

      • Snoo
      • Sonos
      • Spotify
      • That sous vide thing

      Everything is getting discontinued after a while, leaving you with the burden of disposing of the e-waste. If the device cannot function offline then you are renting it, not owning it.

      This wasn’t a new service by Google though, it was something bought by Google.
