Fitbit Air: Wearable Health Without the Screen Clutter

Google’s AI coach is a bit too chatty for some, but at least you won’t miss its notifications.

The Fitbit Air offers health tracking without the usual smartwatch distractions. No screen means no missed calls or texts, just subtle taps and lights to keep you in line.


Opting for a minimalist design, the Air lacks a speaker and notification sync, but its LED light and vibration motor still provide necessary alerts. The device is durable and works well for everyday activities, though it might be less practical during intense workouts that require constant attention.


The included Performance Band is basic with a smooth texture and metal loop, but it’s prone to retaining moisture, making it less ideal for swimming or sweaty sessions. For more active use, the Silicone Active Band offers better concealment and a sportier look, though at $35, it feels like a premium upgrade.


At $100, the Air is priced reasonably, but the expensive third-party bands available for Pixel Watches aren’t as plentiful or impressive. Future band options could help fill this gap and make the device more versatile for different users and activities.
