Google clarified its decision to exclude NFC support and Google Wallet functionality from the Fitbit Edge wearable device. The company stated the omission was driven by low adoption rates on the previous Fitbit Charge model, where the feature saw usage below 1%. This cost-benefit analysis suggests Google prioritized removing unnecessary hardware to simplify the device over maintaining parity with prior-generation capabilities.
