Feels a little bit salty to send customers to Google's competitor given the fact that Google provided the exit and also liberated the code. They didn't have to do that.

A better "thank you" to Google would be to direct people to Fitbit.






Good call, I just changed it to send to pixel watch if opened on Android or Windows!

I think it’s perfect actually.

Google used to (still?) have a page internally where if you clicked on “I don’t care about security” it sent you to the jobs page of a competitor that had suffered a notable breach.

Very on point.


I thought they killed FitBit and are doing Pixel Watch again instead

Fitbit has already gone off to the great Google graveyard, unfortunately.


no. they just released the Fitbit ace

Cue Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch. :)

Fitbit isn't dead yet, but it's not doing great either. And the alternatives kinda suck (tldr; the best choice is probably a Garmin for 3x as much money and with less features ).


It's just a joke I think. But yeah linking to the pixel watch would have been nicer.
