Overview
- Google, which unveiled the Fitbit Air on Thursday, opened $99 preorders that are slated to ship May 26.
- The screenless pebble tracks 24/7 heart rate, AFib alerts, SpO2, heart rate variability, and sleep stages with up to seven days of battery and a five‑minute fast charge for a day.
- The Fitbit app will switch to Google Health starting May 19, and the Gemini‑powered Health Coach sits behind a $9.99 per month Google Health Premium plan with a three‑month trial included.
- The tracker works with iOS and Android, pairs alongside a Pixel Watch in the Google Health app, and offers swappable bands including a Stephen Curry special edition.
- The launch targets Whoop‑style recovery tracking and consolidates data in a single health hub that can pull from wearables and, in some markets, medical records.
