Fitbit’s wearables are an excellent choice for anyone who needs to track health stats accurately. On top of that, devices such as the Sense 2 and Versa 4 are also able to take on smartwatch features like Google Wallet’s contactless payments. This guide will go through adding Google Wallet to your Fitbit device.
What Fitbit wearables can use Google Wallet?
Fitbit’s device line focuses mainly on health tracking, opting for fitness-focused features rather than ones that you’d find in a Wear OS device. Even with that being the case, a couple of Fitbit’s health trackers have the ability to add Google Wallet.
Google Wallet allows users to add cards and make mobile payments without pulling physical cards out. In Fitbit’s line, there are only two devices that can make use of contactless payments. Those are the Versa 4 and Sense 2.
