(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/scienrds/scienceandnerds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Source: https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/8\/19\/23313335\/fitbit-sense-2-versa-4-google-wallet<\/a> It\u2019s been more than two years since Google plopped down $2.1 billion for Fitbit<\/a>, but there hasn\u2019t been much integration between the two companies\u2019 products thus far. That looks like it\u2019ll change this fall. Not only is the upcoming Pixel Watch set to get a shiny Fitbit integration, but it also appears that the rumored Fitbit Sense 2 and Versa 4 might have some kind of Google Wallet integration as well.<\/p>\n According to 9to5Google<\/em><\/a>, the latest version of Android\u2019s Play Services shows signs that Google Wallet \u2014 which includes Google Pay \u2014 is adding Fitbit smartwatch support. That includes a new menu with graphics resembling a \u201csquircle\u201d Fitbit smartwatch. The images are also labeled as a \u201cFitbit watch illustration.\u201d (You can see the images here<\/a>.) However, it\u2019s not apparent whether Google Wallet is replacing Fitbit Pay entirely or if it\u2019s an alternative option in the way that Samsung smartwatches now allow you to download Google Wallet. 9to5Google <\/em>asserts that it might also be a way of adding Google Wallet to Fitbit Pay as a means of enabling the service for older watches. <\/p>\n Right now, the only real connection between Fitbit and Google on the wrist is Google Assistant. Starting with the Versa 2, the only digital assistant you could use on Fitbit devices was Alexa. Then, following the Google acquisition, Fitbit later added Google Assistant as an option on the Versa 3 and Sense<\/a>. That made Fitbit devices among the first wearables that let you choose between two digital assistants. (You can now do the same on Samsung Galaxy smartwatches<\/a> running on Wear OS 3.) <\/p>\n Adding Google Assistant on Fitbits was an obvious choice. Alexa was already on Fitbit\u2019s devices. There\u2019s no way Google would allow its biggest rival in the digital assistant space to be the only<\/em> option on one of its gadgets. The choice to add Google Wallet, however, is perhaps a death knell for Fitbit Pay. The service has always been a tad finicky. While accepted by a large number of banks and transit systems<\/a> (at least in the United States), it\u2019s a small player in the contactless payments world. And, its UI isn\u2019t as smooth as Google Pay, Apple Pay, or Samsung Pay.<\/p>\n
