I was speaking with Carmen at Fitbit Customer Service and she mentioned that fitbit may be developing a smartwatch. If so, awesome! Either way, are there plans to allow current or next gen smart watches work with fitbit? Ie the Gear2, Apple Watch or Blocks Modular smartwatch? Am i the only one who wants this?

Doubtful considering Fitbit has expressed zero interest in opening its ecosystem to the likes of Apple Health and Google Fit. "Smart watch"? Time to sell Fitbit.

Actually Fitbit has opened their API to others, I have a Google Sheet that access it.

It should be no problems for third parties to also get ahold of the data. Yes Fitbit has no desire to integrate a separate counter into their data, but that doesn't mean they chant effort into Fitbit.

So it's Google and Apple's fault that Fitbit hasn't integrated with Fit or Health, respectively?

The is third person app that connects Fitbit to apples health.
Fitbit has enough on their hands, that they don't want to do the integration, they seem to help others if requested.

I personally could care less about Health or Fit integration (no iPhone and Google hasn't really done much with Fit), but it would be nice if Fitbit would lay out a vision for how it envisions its ecosystem. Right now it feels fragmented and cumbersome to gather sufficient and accurate health and fitness information (Fitbit doesn't do enough for either).

 

BTW, Apple Health is the #2 requested "feature" in the requests forum that Fitbit touts in so many threads and you didn't answer my question.
