Google considers buying Fitbit as time runs out for the wearable company
Google started offering hints earlier this year that it wanted to finally make a serious push into wearables of its own, thanks to clues like the company's job listing spotted back in February that sought someone for the position of wearables vice president.
And when you couple that with Google's $40 million acquisition of Fossil's technology, it makes the overture from Google's parent company Alphabet to buy wearable maker Fitbit, which was reported on Monday, look like Google is getting much closer to finally developing branded wearables of its own.
