        Due to Google's  [recent acquisition of FitBit](https://outline.com/tsJCYN), it is recommended to avoid using FitBit. Instead, check out this [list of smart watches](https://asteroidos.org/install/) supported by Asteroid OS (See Wear OS in [Operating systems](#operating-systems)). Thanks @ribtoks
