     @arstechnica I'll be moving on from Fitbit once this one dies. I'm tired of the bullshit and it doesn't provide the service it used to for me. Plus Google bitches about storing my data and wants to charge me for it and then buys fitbit so it can what, store more of my data? What sense does that make? Done.

     @arstechnica I have an orphaned Pebble smartwatch, the company was bought by Fitbit for its patents then shuttered. The Pebble gets a good 5 days out of a charge. Orphaned by a company that couldn't even make a competitive product with the tech they bought.
