This is exactly what I was saying. So far Fitbit's actions are very disappointing and feel like they are un-necessarily scared. I'm hoping Apple would have the same social aspect to their fitness tracking on the watch. All of the friends I have on Fitbit are users who I have never met personally. While with the watch if there is that social aspect it would be people that I'm physically close to, friends and family, who I would add. An example my sister who doesn't have a Fitbit but will get an Watch eventually. Now Fitbit perhaps say Nike get out of the band market and got scared because they thought that Apple would get into their space with the Watch. I'm a Fitbit user and once I get the watch I will probably ditch the Fitbit and that might be what they are scared of. However I'm not going to throw it away I paid money for it. I would give it to my brother or a friend which means more users on Fitbit. If the Fitbit app was on the Watch I would remain a Fitbit user so it would have been a way to grow their network. So it's a shame really but only time will tell what happens.
