You have it backwards. Fitbit was already dead before Google bought them. They couldn't keep up with the competition, they laid off hundreds of employees, and their stock crashed 90%. Google is mopping up the pieces. Spending $2B for Fitbit is chump change for Google.

I know about the state of Fitbit, but I would have preferred any other company over Google to buy them, including Samsung or Amazon.
