Google Says Fitbit Air Sleep Breathing Feature Will Come 'Soon' but It Is Still Missing

Google has offered no firm timeline for the delayed Sleep Breathing Quality trend on the Fitbit Air, leaving users unsure when the tracker will match Pixel Watch feature parity.

Overview

  • The Fitbit Air does not yet show the Sleep Breathing Quality trend that Google launched for Pixel Watch models, and the company has not activated the feature on the Air.
  • Google told Android Authority that the missing Sleep Breathing Quality function will arrive “soon” but did not provide a specific date or rollout schedule.
  • Pixel Watch 3 through Pixel Watch 5 already support the Your Health Guardian features, which include blood pressure trends, insulin resistance trends, and Sleep Breathing Quality.
  • Fitbit Air has received only two of the three Health Guardian features so far, a staggered rollout Google says is affected by device differences and regional limits.
  • Google describes Health Guardian outputs as wellness trend indicators rather than medical diagnoses and processes sensor data with cloud models, and users are advised to seek clinical confirmation for concerning results.
