  Are you sure? The Google Fit entry on the Google Play site [1] doesn't
even mention Fitbit in its list of devices and its website [2] doesn't
list any devices.

  I always thought that *other* *apps* (not devices), could talk to
Google Fit and that Google Fit then showed a consolidation of all the
data.

  IIRC, I used Google Fit in the past, but I can't remember with which
app/service/device.
