Google Launches Screenless Fitbit Air and Updates Fitbit App to Google Health

Google has introduced a new wearable device, the Fitbit Air, which follows the trend of screenless health trackers. Unlike traditional smartwatches, the Fitbit Air does not have a display; instead, it features health sensors that collect data and send it to the newly updated Google Health app. The device itself is a small, compact puck measuring 1.4 inches long and 0.7 inches wide, designed to fit into various bands that keep the sensors in contact with the wrist. The Fitbit Air offers multiple color and style options, including a special edition inspired by Steph Curry. The Google Health app, which replaces the old Fitbit app, will feature a redesigned interface and menus with Material Expressive aesthetics. Fitbit Premium is rebranded as Google Health Premium, providing additional features such as an AI-powered health coach. Basic tracking features remain available without a subscription, while Premium users get access to personalized guidance based on their health data. The Fitbit Air is priced at $99.99 and includes a three-month Google Health Premium trial. Google also plans to retire Google Fit later this year, requiring users to migrate their data to Google Health.
