Fitbit

Fitbit appears in Eric Migicovsky on Pebble, Kickstarter, and Building for Yourself as both a wearable competitor and the company that eventually acquired pieces of Pebble after Pebble ceased to exist as an independent company in 2016. The source treats Fitbit as part of the competitive pressure that pushed Pebble toward health and fitness features.

The wiki role is not a full Fitbit history. It anchors the wearable-market context around Consumer Electronics Lifecycle: wrist devices moved from notification novelty toward health, fitness, platform integration, and scale, making it harder for Pebble to keep a clear independent position against Fitbit, Apple, and Garmin.
