This acquisition along with the Fitbit deal sets up Google perfectly to dominate the health wearables market.
- kojeovo 6y agoI'd love some smart glasses for running / cycling. No need to look at handlebar for stats / gps would be huge
- tomschlick 6y ago"Dominate" for 2 years until it doesn't have billions of users and they drop it into the google mass grave.
- lawrenceyan 6y agoIsn't the Fitbit acquisition being contested currently due to privacy concerns?
- partingshots 6y agoI highlight the Apple Watch’s FDA approval as a medical monitoring device as a counterpoint. This was in 2018. Wearables for health have been approved, legally speaking, already for some time now.
- lawrenceyan 6y agoFair point. I didn't realize the FDA had already started looking at the wearable space in such detail. Pretty forward-looking / perceptive of them.
