It's Now Clear: Fitbit Is in Serious Trouble Without Google

After a post-IPO letdown and years of disappointing performance, wearable fitness-tracker pioneer Fitbit (NYSE: FIT) announced it would be acquired by Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google. The $2.1 billion deal raised some eyebrows, but it's ultimately pocket change for the internet search giant.

But the deal may not proceed as smoothly as investors might hope.
