Fitbit Air Price, Specs, Release Date and Deals: Everything We Know

Separately, Fitbit Air's exported health data, including its battery stats, step counts, resting heart rate and SpO2 readings, can be fed into Google's Gemini to generate personalized seven-day workout plans without needing a Google Health Coach subscription (7).

Fitbit Air deals

As reported on 12 October, the metal mesh bands for the Fitbit Air were set to launch October 27 at $70 for the standalone band in champagne gold or polished silver, or $149 bundled with an Obsidian Fitbit Air (3). No Indian, UK or EU pricing had been announced for the bands at that time (3).

Fitbit Air reviews and first impressions

Android Police's 100-day wear test found that Fitbit Air can last five to seven days per charge, but only after adjusting six key settings (8). In a separate piece, a reporter who switched from an Apple Watch to the Fitbit Air said they did not regret the move, citing constant notifications and what they called lackluster battery life on the Apple Watch as reasons to leave (14). That reviewer nonetheless flagged three gaps compared with the Apple Watch: the Air lacks lap tracking, physical buttons and GPS, features the writer said mattered for serious runners (14).

Fitbit Air vs rivals

Compared with the newer Fitbit Edge, the Air shares nearly all core health sensors, including continuous heart rate, HRV, resting heart rate, SpO2 and blood pressure, according to a feature comparison published by Android Authority (15). The $80 price difference between the two, the outlet suggested, mainly buys the Edge's AMOLED display, GPS and ECG, rather than additional health tracking (15). The Fitbit Air is also screenless by design, which Google and reporters have positioned as a deliberate contrast to the Edge's bigger display and the Pixel Watch 5's full Wear OS experience, which adds third-party apps, a speaker and microphone, Gemini and NFC for Google Wallet, none of which the Edge or Air offer (1, 4, 16). A separate Android Authority comparison of the Fitbit Edge against five rivals, including the Pixel Watch 5, Galaxy Fit 3, Oura Ring 5 and the discontinued Charge 6, also noted the Fitbit Air as the cheaper, screen-free alternative within Google's own lineup (16).
