TL;DR

• Some Fitbit Air owners have started strapping their analog watches to the fitness band.
• You can do so by removing the strap on the analog watch and slipping the Fitbit Air’s band through the spring bars.

Overview

One of the nice things about the recently launched Fitbit Air is its minimalist take on fitness tracking. With its screenless design, it won’t replace your nice analog timepiece, as a smartwatch would. While wearing a Fitbit Air and your wristwatch at the same time isn’t exactly ideal aesthetically, some users are finding a way to make it work.

Community Creations

Users on Reddit, Threads, and Instagram (via 9to5Google) have been sharing their creations, and the results look better than you might expect.

Example Builds

• Dan Seifert, product critic at Google, combined his Timex Marlin with the Fitbit Air.
• He also tried it with his Instrmnt Field Watch. The Instrmnt Field Watch fits well with the Fitbit Air’s 18 mm strap, while the Timex Marlin (20 mm lugs) shows a small gap. For best results, use a watch with lugs no larger than 19 mm.

How to Combine a Fitbit Air with an Analog Watch

1. Remove the strap from your wristwatch, leaving the spring bars in place.
2. Undo the Fitbit Air strap.
3. Slip the Fitbit Air strap through the watch’s spring bars.
4. Fasten the band so the Fitbit Air sits comfortably under your wrist.
