Google’s newest wearable, the Fitbit Air, is priced at $99.99 and arrives on May 26th. This marks the company’s first Fitbit release in four years. Compatible with both iOS and Android, the screenless fitness tracker requires no paid subscription for basic activity, sleep, and health monitoring,including heart rate and breathing rate. For $9.99 a month, users unlock Gemini AI-powered coaching designed to refine workouts and recovery.
Every purchase includes a textile/polyurethane band that holds the sensor module. Preordering ahead of launch gets you a free extra band or store credit, depending on the retailer. Amazon offers berry, blue, or black color options (fog is excluded) with a white or black silicone band in small or large, priced at $99.99,a $35 savings from the regular $134.99. You can select your preferred band color and size on the Fitbit Air product page.
Best Buy also throws in a free silicone band with preorders. Simply add the tracker to your cart, and a small black silicone band is added automatically. While you cannot choose the color or size, it’s a straightforward deal if that combination works for you.
Over at the Google Store, the preorder incentive takes a different form. Once your order ships, you receive $35 in store credit, allowing you to pick whichever band you like.
