Fitbit is now officially part of Google

The killer feature for me which lead me to me switching away was Fitbit Pay. They just don't have the take up by banks that the competition (Apple and Samsung) have. Maybe that would have changed, but if they integrate Google Pay instead, I may switch back.

I much prefer contactless payment with my phone anyway. I usually find it very awkward trying to position my wrist near the NFC reader on the terminal.

I’ve always thought they should put the NFC chip on the bottom of the wrist rather than on the top - that seems like a much less awkward position.
