Fitness trackers are great, don't get me wrong but the way I used to think of working out and how I think now with a fitbit are so different.

Fitbit has no future under Google. I love Fitbit devices, but it's becoming more and more clear that Google acquired Fitbit merely as a source of personal data and nothing more.
