What do these things do that requires accounts with anyone, google or fitbit themselves? Or even internet for that matter? I thought they were for tracking fitness or health related statistics of the wearer, something that can only be done with local sensors on the thing itself, does the analysis of the data those sensors collect require so much complexity it can only be done on remote hardware?
they upload your medical information to advertisers and data brokers, and connect it to your name and email address, that’s what needs an account.
Right but do they pretend there’s any reason that would benefit you?
Syncing to your phone and analytics. But Fitbit doesn’t give you the option to get those analytics through third party apps.
