Google presented on Thursday its new Fitbit Aira screenless wearable like the Whoop that retails for $100. The device includes health and fitness tracking features such as 24/7 heart rate monitoring, heart rate monitoring with A-fib (atrial fibrillation) alerts, blood oxygen level, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep stages and duration, and more.
The tech giant told a blog post that the device is aimed at people who find wearables too bulky, complicated or expensive, noting that the Fitbit Air is “simple, affordable and comfortable enough to wear 24/7.”
Google says the screen-less design is built to allow users to “live in the moment.” You can track your health and fitness through the Google Health app — the revamped version of the Fitbit app, which Google also unveiled Thursday.
The new wearable is noticeably smaller than its predecessors, staying true to the ‘Air’ branding, being 25% smaller than the Fitbit Luxe and 50% smaller than the Inspire 3.
The device will automatically track common activities and workouts. Google says the experience is personalized to you and improves over time as it learns your habits.
The device weighs 12 grams with the band and 5.2 grams without the band. It also pairs with the Pixel Watch, meaning you could use the larger wearable during the day and then switch to the Fitbit Air at night or during workouts for a more comfortable experience, Google says.
Fitbit Air has a battery life of up to a week, and fast charging can provide a full day of power in just five minutes. It is also water resistant up to 50 meters.

The tech giant also announced that Google Health Coach, the all-in-one fitness trainer, sleep coach, and health and wellness advisor powered by Gemini, is now available for Google Health Premium subscribers. Google Health Coach can help you with tasks like creating custom workout routines based on your goals and available equipment, analyzing your sleep habits, and more.
The new wearable comes with three types of bands: a “Performance Loop Band” made from recycled materials with a breathable fit, a waterproof “Active Band” and a discreet “Elevated Modern Band”.
The Fitbit Air is available for pre-order now and will be released on May 26.
