Google launches Fitbit Air with no screen

Google’s latest fitness band, the Fitbit Air, comes without a screen to make it lighter and easier to wear around the clock, while still delivering in-depth health insights.

It was designed to unlock the full power of the Google Health Coach, bringing personal health insights and recommendations to everyone.

This is Fitbit’s smallest tracker yet, and uses high-fidelity sensor technology in a tiny, discreet pebble that enables health and fitness tracking such as round-the-clock heart rate, heart rhythm monitoring with Afib alerts, SpO2, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, and sleep stages and duration.

Though there is no screen, wearers can explore deep insights from the Google Health app on their phone; the user can choose when and if to receive notifications.

There is up up to a week of battery life, and wearers can swap between Pixel Watch during the day and Fitbit Air for sleep without missing a beat. Fast charging gives a full day of power in five minutes.

Fitbit Air and the Google Health app (blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/google-health/google-health-app/) make activity tracking seamless. Users can start a workout from the app, follow along with a coach-recommended guided workout or simply get going and Fitbit Air will detect and track common activities automatically, sending a recap of the workout. The automatic detection gets better over time and is personalised to the wearer.

Workouts can be logged manually at any time, or with the Google Health Coach users can snap a photo of their cardio equipment, or the circuit training routine on the whiteboard at the gym. 7

Users can change their look in seconds by popping out the pebble and swapping the band with a variety of options to match their style:

  • Performance loop band: Made from recycled materials, this band is micro-adjustable for a flexible, breathable fit. It comes standard with every Fitbit Air in-box and is available in various shades for a subtle look or pop of colour.
  • Active band: Sweatproof, wetproof silicone is for high-intensity training and can withstand the elements. Its subtle ribbed design adds sporty flair in vibrant hues to match an athletic look.
  • Elevated modern band: Discreetly smart and stylish, this band transforms the device from a fitness tracker into a fashionable bracelet with classic colours that blend with any style

Co-designed with basketball player Stephen Curry (blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/google-health/stephen-curry-fitbit-air/), the Fitbit Air Special Edition Performance Loop band comes in elegant rye brown and a pop of game-day orange. It’s a design for on and off the court. It has a water-resistant coating and a raised interior print inspired by athletic racing stripes engineered to increase airflow during high-intensity movement.
