Who use activity tracker or fitness sport watch at lowyat? What do you usually call the thing ? sport watch, fitness watch or activity tracker?

It seem like Nike layoff their employee in fitness sport watch segment. Fitness watch is growing companies in western world..

Nike confirmed a “small number” of layoffs in its digital sports division, but attempted to tamp down a CNET report late Friday that said the company was shuttering the hardware side of its FuelBand team.

“The Nike+ FuelBand SE remains an important part of our business,” the company said in a statement emailed to Re/code. “We will continue to improve the Nike+ FuelBand App, launch new METALUXE colors, and we will sell and support the Nike+ FuelBand SE for the foreseeable future.”

The language does seem to leave a whole lot of room, however, for the possibility that the Portland athletic apparel giant won’t release future products in the FuelBand line. One source with knowledge of the situation said that it could be that Nike wants to be able to run down its inventory of devices, or that it still has not completely decided to shutter the unit.

Facebook bought Oculus. Intel picked up Basis Science. Google provided Android software tools for wearable devices.

Apple appears to be investing considerable resources into novel medical sensors, at least based on its recent hiring, feeding ongoing speculation about its plans for wearable devices — and more broadly, it’s play as a digital health platform.
