Recent developments in fitness tracker news revealed that Google is discontinuing Google Assistant on Fitbit devices, limiting their functionality. This change follows various feature reductions since Google took over Fitbit. Meanwhile, updates hint at an upcoming AI assistant named Gemini for Google Pixel Watches, potentially offering new capabilities like setting timers and reminders. The fitness community also saw notable changes with Strava acquiring Runna, illustrating the ongoing evolution in health and wearable technology.
Over the next few weeks, we will be progressively phasing out Google Assistant on your Fitbit device. This change means that Google Assistant voice control for activities will soon no longer be available on your Fitbit device.
9to5Google decompiled the latest version of an application Google uploaded to the Google Store and found some significant Wear OS updates inside. It discovered that Gemini is indeed coming to Google Pixel Watches to set timers, create reminders, and perform all the tasks AI personal assistants typically handle.
