Google’s Screen‑Free Fitbit Band Surfaces in Leaks With Live App Data

The material suggests Google is steering Fitbit toward phone‑first tracking.

Overview

  • New images and behind‑the‑scenes footage published this week reveal Fitbit’s unreleased screenless band alongside a phone app that displays live workout metrics.
  • The device appears as a thin fabric loop with a metal clasp and no display, and it looks slimmer than Whoop’s current hardware in the close‑ups.
  • A Pixel phone shown in the footage displays a Sport activity with cardio load, heart rate, energy burned, and elapsed time, indicating real‑time streaming from the band to the app.
  • Bloomberg reports the band will include basic features while deeper insights require a Fitbit Premium subscription, with an AI coaching feature planned in the Fitbit app.
  • Google has not announced specs, pricing, or a release date, though reports note Steph Curry has worn the band in public since January and some outlets speculate a reveal at Google I/O next month.
