A new report says that US tech giant Facebook was also interested in the deal before it finally backs price concerns.
The Information reports that the social networks firm was only prepared to pay about $1 billion, almost half of the $2.1 billion that Facebook was supposed to pay for.

The purchase is considered to be an effort by the US search giant to revive the challenging WearOS project which is still behind the doors even though Apple and Samsung.continue to dominate the area with Tizen and WatchOS respectively.
Fitbit is a brand name among a section of technology customers, most of its products best selling are basic fitness trackers rather than smart cars.
In this case, it is worthwhile to see if the deal succeeds in reliving the WearOS platform or whether another high profile casualty is being reported by the US.
tech giant, which, due to lack of tracking among target auditions, has shut down many of its high-profile projects over the years.
Just to recap, Google confirmed on Friday, after reports earlier in the week that it had purchased major wearables, Google said: "This agreement underlines our belief that wearable technology is an important opportunity for Wear OS and that it is also an exciting opportunity. We look forward to working with Fitbit to bring together the best of our smartwatch platforms and health apps, enabling our partners to build a new wearable generation."
