Overview
- Fitbit Air, which opened preorders Sunday, starts at $99.99 with a $129.99 Stephen Curry edition, and U.S. units are slated to reach shelves May 26 with a three-month Google Health Premium trial.
- The display-free pebble tracks 24/7 heart rate, AFib alerts, blood oxygen, heart-rate variability, and sleep stages, and it lasts about a week per charge with a five-minute top-up good for a day.
- Data lives in the new Google Health app, where a Gemini-powered Coach can log workouts from photos and offer personalized plans, while core tracking metrics remain available without a paid subscription.
- Hands-on details point to a status LED and a double-tap gesture for battery checks and alarm silence, plus Google Store demos showing a lighter, slimmer fit than Whoop.
- Early incentives include a $35 Google Store credit for preorders before May 25 and trade-in offers that can cover the $99 price, positioning Air as a lower-cost, subscription-optional rival to Whoop.
