    Fitbit bought Pebble then Google bought Fitbit.

      Yes, and this has nothing to do with Fitbit or Google (beyond Google open-sourcing the old Pebble code).

      This is not a Google product.

      PebbleOS was open sourced and now the original founder who hasn’t worked for alphabet for ages wants to build a new device using the now open sourced OS. No way Google can drop support and they have essentially given the code away because they aren’t using it anymore.
