Google's parent company Alphabet Inc. has made an offer to buy wearable device maker Fitbit Inc., according to Reuters.
Why it matters: Google has yet to develop any wearable smart devices like its competitors Apple and Samsung Electronics, but it could get a piece of the crowded market with Fitbit.
Yes, but: "There is no certainty that the negotiations between Google and Fitbit will lead to any deal," per Reuters.
- The exact price that Google has offered for Fitbit is unknown.
The big picture: Fitbit has reportedly been exploring the possibility of a sale since September as it struggles to maintain a strong presence in the fitness tracker market.
