## Status

Fitbit (the Charge 6 band, plus the Sense 2 and Versa 4 watches) is the budget-tier cleared anchor of the biometric cohort. Founded in 2007 and acquired by Google (deal closed January 2021, about $2.1B), its sensors (optical PPG, ECG electrodes on the Sense line, cEDA stress, SpO2, skin temperature) drive cleared AFib/ECG, a Sleep Score and Sleep Profile, a Daily Readiness Score, and stress management. The throughline is the strongest cardiologist-validation gradient available at a budget price point; the AI augments genuine biometric sensing. Its health stack shares lineage with the Pixel Watch's Fitbit/Google Health algorithms.
