In addition to the graphic similarity to the Sense and Versa smartwatches, Google Pay is mentioned. The payment service in most countries has been renamed Google Wallet, but payment transactions are still based and initiated on Google Pay. Users can use Google Wallet or Fitbit’s version of Wallet on supported devices.
Like adding Google Assistant to the Fitbit Sense and Versa 3, it makes sense for Google to use its own payment platform rather than relying on Fitbit Pay or Wallet. To date, Google Wallet has seen wider adoption in many countries. Using the app is also more intuitive than Fitbit Pay.
