Overview
Google’s new Fitbit Air is a $99.99 screenless fitness tracker that launches on May 26. It’s the company’s first Fitbit release in four years and works with iOS or Android phones. With the basic (free) version you can track activities, sleep, and core health metrics such as heart rate and breathing rate.
A monthly $9.99 subscription unlocks Gemini AI‑powered features that provide workout and recovery insights.
All purchases include a textile/polyurethane band that houses the sensor‑filled puck. Pre‑ordering also nets a free second band (or store credit, depending on the retailer).
