Google unveiled the ‘Fitbit Air’ fitness tracker
A major attempt by the company to break into the fitness and health market.
Google has unveiled the Fitbit Air fitness tracker, a display-less version of the Whoop tracker. The bracelet features a standard set of sensors: it can track steps, heart rate, sleep, blood oxygen levels, and skin temperature. The Air lasts about a week on a single charge.
Instead of a display, the bracelet features an LED charging indicator and a vibration motor for notifications. The Fitbit Air is available for pre-order for $99. Google will also offer a three-month Health Premium subscription (more on that later) with your purchase. Replacement bands will be available for $35.
Along with the bracelet, Google unveiled its newest Health app, which will combine the features of the Fitbit app and Health Connect for Android.
It features a customizable bottom bar, health trend tracking, and supports a variety of third-party apps like Peloton and MyFitnessPal.
Finally, Google launched Health Coach, a subscription-based personal AI coach. You can share your injuries and other health information to receive relevant information and training plans.
Users will be able to receive health care tips and ask questions in natural language, as well as view health reports based on accumulated data. Coach is included in the Health Premium subscription, which costs $10 per month or $100 when paid annually.
