Tech It Before You Wreck It's Fitbit Air Review

Review notes

The Google Fitbit Air offers a simpler, screenless fitness tracking experience, making it an appealing alternative for those seeking health metrics without a full smartwatch. The device itself is tiny and lightweight, easily snapping into various fabric or rubber wrist straps, and it charges magnetically with a USB-C pod. Its standout feature is the Gemini-powered Google Health Coach, which provides conversational insights into sleep and workouts rather than just raw data. If you dislike wearing a traditional watch but desire comprehensive health tracking, the Fitbit Air is a strong contender. However, if you are accustomed to a smartwatch, you might find yourself instinctively checking a non-existent screen.

• Significantly smaller and lighter than a smartwatch
• Comes with a nice fabric wrist strap
• Device is tiny and lightweight

What the reviewer criticised

• No screen, so no time display (can be disorienting for watch wearers)
