I don't know for sure where it gets its data from, but it is there. 
Maybe Google Fit talks with Fitbit app.

I had that app installed from before, then one day I noticed that it had 
data that seemed to come from the watch. Yes, looking there is displays 
my siesta data as coming from Fitbit. It also shows the map of my walk 
this afternoon, with a label that says "Fitbit".

In the details, it shows the elevation graph of the walk, something that 
is missing in the Fitbit app.

I remember vaguely saying yes to share data, but I don't remember which 
of the two apps. Maybe both.
