Google has introduced its latest wearable, the Fitbit Air, a minimalist, screenless device designed to offer comprehensive health and fitness tracking at an accessible price point of $100. Positioned as an alternative for users who find traditional smartwatches too cumbersome or costly, the Fitbit Air emphasizes comfort and continuous wearability, akin to popular subscription-based health trackers.

The compact device is packed with advanced health monitoring capabilities, including 24/7 heart rate tracking, atrial fibrillation (A-fib) alerts through heart rhythm monitoring, blood oxygen level assessment, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability measurements. It also meticulously tracks sleep stages and duration, providing a holistic view of a user’s well-being. The screenless design encourages users to remain present, with all health and fitness data seamlessly accessible via the newly rebranded Google Health app, which replaces the former Fitbit App.

Measuring significantly smaller than its predecessors—25% more compact than the Fitbit Luxe and half the size of the Inspire 3—the Fitbit Air lives up to its “Air” designation, weighing a mere 12 grams with its band. It automatically logs common activities and workouts, offering a personalized experience that adapts as it learns user habits. The device boasts an impressive battery life of up to a week and supports fast charging, capable of providing a full day’s power in just five minutes. Its water resistance up to 50 meters further enhances its versatility for daily use.

For users already integrated into Google’s ecosystem, the Fitbit Air can pair with the Pixel Watch, allowing for flexible usage where the larger wearable can be worn during the day and the discreet Fitbit Air utilized for sleep tracking or workouts. Additionally, Google has made its Gemini-powered Google Health Coach available to Google Health Premium subscribers, offering personalized fitness routines, sleep analysis, and general wellness advice. The Fitbit Air is available for preorder now and is set to officially launch on May 26, offering a choice of three distinct band types: a Performance Loop Band made from recycled materials, a waterproof Active Band, and a sophisticated Elevated Modern Band.
