Fitbit, a long-standing brand in the fitness tracking industry, has introduced a new device called the Fitbit Air. Unlike traditional Fitbit models, the Fitbit Air doesn’t feature a screen and resembles popular wristbands like Whoop bands. Despite the absence of a screen for functions like message reading and heart rate monitoring, the Fitbit Air offers various advantages.
The Fitbit Air boasts a comfortable bracelet-style design that has been rated as more comfortable than its competitors in a recent study conducted by Google. Additionally, it provides a week-long battery life and quick charging capabilities, offering a day’s worth of power in just five minutes. The device comes with a magnetic charger that supports bi-directional technology, simplifying the charging process.
Despite its sleek appearance, the Fitbit Air retains core Fitbit functionalities such as monitoring sleep patterns, activity levels, exercise routines, heart rate, and detecting irregular heart rhythms like AFib. It includes features like an optical heart rate monitor, a gyroscope, oxygen saturation sensors, and a temperature sensor. Data collected by the device is seamlessly transmitted to smartphones for a comprehensive health overview through the Google Health Coach app.
The Fitbit Air is water-resistant up to 50 meters and will be available in four colors: Obsidian, Fog, Berry, and Lavender. Priced at £84.99, the Fitbit Air provides a more affordable and convenient option for individuals looking to track their fitness levels with precision and style.
