📊 Industry Moves
Wellness Project’s Google Health integration lets Fitbit and Google Pixel Watch users keep pulling sleep, HRV, and workout data to third-party apps when Fitbit’s Web API shuts down in September. That’s the difference between data portability and lock-in.
Marty’s Take:
Wellness Project’s move solves this month’s problem, not the underlying one: your data access still depends on whichever platform’s API terms are in favor this year. Google controls this pipe now the way Fitbit did before Google bought it. Anyone choosing a fitness tracker for data portability should weigh the platform’s history, not just today’s OAuth badge.
