So you already had a Google account on the phone and used that for the Fitbit app, so you can no longer remove the account from the phone (Settings) and use the Fitbit app with the *same* Google account. But the scenario I was talking about was: Phone *without* a Google account (after all, that's the subject of this thread). User wants to use Fitbit app. Fitbit app wants a Google account. My suggestion: Create/have a Google account, do *not* use it for the *phone* (i.e. it's not in Settings) and just use it to login into the *Fitbit app*. I see no reason why that shouldn't work.
