Google Fitbit has officially launched the new Fitbit Air, marking the company’s return to the mainstream fitness tracker market with a completely screenless design. The lightweight wearable focuses on passive health tracking, comfort, and simplicity, offering users a distraction-free alternative to bulky smartwatches.
The Fitbit Air has no display or physical buttons. It uses haptic feedback for alerts, and you can see all your tracking data in the Google Health app. Weighing only 12 grams, it is made for all-day and night comfort. Google says it is about 25 percent smaller than the Fitbit Luxe.
Even though it is small, the Fitbit Air offers many health features. It tracks your heart rate all day, monitors heart rhythm with Afib alerts, checks SpO2, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability, and tracks sleep stages. It can also detect workouts automatically, lets you log workouts by hand, and works with Google Health Coach for guided sessions.
Battery life is another major highlight. Google claims the Fitbit Air can last up to 7 days on a single charge, while fast charging provides a full day of use in just 5 minutes. The wearable also comes with 50m water resistance and interchangeable band options, including the Performance Loop, Active Band, and Elevated Modern Band.
Google has also introduced a special-edition Fitbit Air designed by Stephen Curry. The version features a rye-brown finish with orange accents and a textured interior surface designed to improve airflow during workouts.
The Fitbit Air is priced at $99.99 (roughly ₹9,500), while the Stephen Curry special edition costs $129.99 (around ₹12,300). It includes a three-month Google Health Premium trial, though core tracking features remain available without a subscription. The device is currently available for pre-order in the US, with retail sales beginning on May 26.
Google has not yet confirmed a launch timeline for India. However, if priced similarly, the Fitbit Air could compete with subscription-based fitness wearables while offering a simpler, more accessible option for users who want health tracking without the complexity of a full smartwatch.
