A Connecticut man has been sentenced to 65 years in prison for the murder of his wife in 2015 and after prosecutors say he gave statements to police that conflicted with data on her Fitbit.

Fitbit is recalling about a million of its smart-watches in the U.S. because they could burn users.

A fitness tracker might not seem necessary to improving your health, and for some people, it’s probably a take-it-or-leave-it kind of item.

EU regulators cleared Google's plan to buy fitness tracking device maker Fitbit after the company promised to silo off user data and not use it for advertising. The EU was initially worried the deal would expand Google’s “data advantage” and raise barriers for rivals in the online ad industry. The Silicon Valley tech giant's commitments included a promise to silo off Fitbit user data from other Google data and not use it for advertising purposes. Google also vowed to continue giving outside health and fitness apps access to Fitbit data. “There is a serious risk that Google will exploit Fitbit users’ data, including sensitive health data, in several markets," said Director General Monique Goyens.
