Fitbit didn't say how much it paid for Pebble's assets. Earlier reports estimated a $30 to $40 million price. The transaction closed on Tuesday, Fitbit said.
Pebble gained a a chunk of the wearables market with its smartwatch, which took off before Apple and other companies stepped up their health and fitness offerings.
But the company had struggled recently and in March laid off a quarter of its staff.
The acquisition likely means the end of Pebble's wearables.
