FitBit support for Android Wear devices

Please add support for Android Wear devices to the Android Fitbit app like you did for the iPhone 5S and HTC One M8. 🙂 The current Android Wear devices (LG G Watch & Samsung Gear Live) all include step counters.

First Steps

Having both a Fitbit (Blaze) and a smartwatch running Android Wear (Huawei Watch 2), I have had some insights as to how cross compatibility would be useful.

 

Fitbit's sleep and step tracking is excellent and thus this is what I use my Fitbit for.

 

When it comes to exercises, I strap on my smartwatch as its heart rate sensor and exercise data is a lot better than the Fitbit.

 

The problem with the android wear is that it's native apps do not work so well with connected apps - Myfitnesspal specifically. This is where the Fitbit functions a lot better.

 

The perfect solution would be to allow the Fitbit app to collect data from the android wear smartwatch and perhaps combine data and it's other features.

 

Anyone got a similar idea?

Stepping Up

I'm just putting this out there, would it be such a terrible thing if Fitbit adopted Android's wearable OS.  Surely it would make sense to use a mainstream OS for more seamless app integration and account sharing between devices.  You could have an Android OS with a Fitbit skin just like Mobile phone Manufacturers put their own skin on the Android OS (Samsung Experience, HTC Sense)
