They don't need to, the day the acquisition was announced my Fitbit went in the bin.

Fuck google, the greedy rent seeking parasites.

I had no idea Fitbit sold to google, and had in the back of my mind to buy one eventually. Guess that's not gonna happen, found any alternative?

Garmin. Works reasonably well without connection to the phone. Some models supported by Gadgetbridge

Edit: corrected app name
