Google has completed its $2.1 billion acquisition of Fitbit Inc. after facing regulatory scrutiny, a deal that would let Google push more deeply into the wearable-device and health-data businesses.

European Union antitrust officials last month approved the acquisition but will enforce conditions on the deal aimed at protecting users' health data and preserving competition in the wearable-tech sector.

"This deal has always been about devices, not data, and we've been clear since the beginning that we will protect Fitbit users' privacy," Rick Osterloh, Google's senior vice president for devices and services, said Thursday.
