> * I need the Fitbit app to work so my watch can show push notifications from my personal apps

It's going to hard to degoogle your phone and stay attached to your Fitbit.

Is there a specific reason for this? Does the Fitbit app rely on Play Services?

I don’t care too much for on wrist calls or anything like that. I just want to use the Fitbit app to sync stats and mostly display notifications from WhatsApp and my personal apps.

I don't know how the app works under the hood, but Google owns Fitbit

I should have know that. Now I understand what you meant in your first comment.

As long as the app doesn’t rely on Play Services it shouldn’t be a problem. By “degoogled” phone I mostly mean taking Google out of the critical (privileged) path in the OS for software and app updates.
