Fitbit has been a key player in promoting user activity for more than 15 years. Now, under Google’s ownership, the company introduces the Fitbit Air, a novel approach to monitoring daily fitness levels. Unlike previous Fitbit models, the Fitbit Air lacks a screen and resembles trendy Whoop bands that elegantly wrap around the wrist.
While the absence of a screen means the loss of features like message reading, heart rate monitoring, and exercise stat viewing, it brings significant benefits. The Fitbit Air boasts a more comfortable bracelet-style design, as highlighted in a recent study by Google, ranking it as the most comfortable compared to major competitors.
Moreover, the Fitbit Air offers exceptional battery life, promising a week of uninterrupted usage and quick charging that can provide a day’s worth of power in just five minutes. The device comes with a new magnetic charger featuring bi-directional technology, allowing for hassle-free recharging without worrying about alignment.
Despite its minimalist appearance, the Fitbit Air remains true to its core functionality. It tracks nightly sleep, daily activity levels, exercise routines, heart rate, and even monitors for health conditions like AFib, notifying users of irregular heart rhythms.
Internally, the Fitbit Air houses various features such as an optical heart rate monitor, a 3-axis accelerometer, a gyroscope, red and infrared sensors for oxygen saturation, and a temperature sensor. Since there is no built-in screen, all data is seamlessly sent to smartphones, where the Google Health Coach can offer a comprehensive health overview.
The Fitbit Air is fully water-resistant up to 50 meters and will be accessible in four stylish colors: Obsidian, Fog, Berry, and Lavender. As for the price point, the Fitbit Air will be available for purchase at £84.99.
