Fitbit Air Is Available Today And Here Is What Two Weeks Of Testing Found

The screenless band pairs with Google Health and Health Coach, and a weeklong test found about 1 week of battery life and strong workout tracking.

  • Google ended its Fitbit drought in early May, launching the ultra-petite, screen-free Fitbit Air at $99, featuring 24/7 heart rate monitoring, detailed sleep reports, and zero buttons or smart features.
  • After a three-year gap without new adult models, Google is responding to the screenless tracker trend by adopting competitor Whoop's strategy of eliminating displays for more discreet wearables.
  • Testing confirmed the Air's advertised 7-day battery life and 90-minute full recharge time, while delivering sleep tracking accuracy rivaling devices costing 2.5 times more.
  • Heart rate data proved reliable within one to two beats per minute of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 , matching premium competitor accuracy at a fraction of the price.
  • Optional Google Health Premium at $9.99 monthly or $99 annually unlocks Gemini-powered AI coaching, as Google consolidates Fitbit and Google Fit into a unified Google Health app this month.
