I am not sure what to think about this as a Fitbit user! I have been trying to find an easy way to get sleep and exercise data and Fitbit seemed to do the job well enough (I use my phone app during runs to get GPS data). Google's history of killing off successful but stagnant projects (RIP Reader) does worry me a lot! My prediction is that Fitbit merges with Google Fit which I used to work but I had trouble getting any useful data besides daily steps off of it. Maybe I will have to find a new option for fitness tracking! Nike+ -> Google Fit -> Fitbit -> ???

Going by Google's track record, the top priorities will be 1) Put Google Assistant in everything 2) Discontinue customer service in favor of a useless forum where you can shout in to the void

If you actually are looking for another option, my bias is toward Garmin.

As a Fitbit user I'm relieved. Fitbit was starting the death spiral and now they are purchased by a company with tons of money and a real interest in making Fitbit more successful. I think this is a save for fitbit employees and users.
