Google unveils screenless Fitbit Air and new Health app
Google has introduced the Fitbit Air, a screenless wearable that returns to the original Fitbit concept of a data tracker without a display. The device is a small plastic puck (1.4 x 0.7 inches) that slots into bands and houses health sensors. It lasts about a week on a charge and can store a day of data offline. Data is piped into the new Google Health app, which includes an AI-powered health coach. The Fitbit Air comes in multiple colors and styles, including a special-edition Steph Curry version. This move follows trends set by Whoop and Hume, focusing on continuous health tracking over smartwatch features.
