Google decides to pull Fitbit from South Africa

Going by @MikeaMatrix post Fitbit is going to be killed in the not too distant future

As an uneducated Garmin wearer, what does Fitbit add to the market that the other manufacturers don't?

Affordability. Garmin is without a doubt superior, but Fitbit is cheaper and accepted by Discovery. Or that is how it is in my mind.

No product in this world will die simply because it is pulled from SA. Our country is too small and economy irrelevant for that. It will just cut losses, costs and thrive better abroad. Probably one of the reasons why companies like Google and Tesla operates this way. South Africa is no longer this powerhouse economy we saw 30 years ago. It now ranks in there with DRC and the likes.

South Africa peaked in the mid 2000s, and not 30 years ago.

This is good. Who want to be woken by a watch telling you you're a luigat and to watch your blood pressure.

I get that enough from my family.

In Europe, these are Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Romania, and Slovakia.

Why's Portugal hanging around with Eastern Europe? They're obviously a bad influence on it according to Google.
