The super-cheap Google Fitbit Air's new Health Guardian features rollout — including Blood Pressure Trends and Insulin Resistance — is one in the eye for expensive rivals like Whoop
Google is loading its cheapest fitness tracker, the Google Fitbit Air, with premium tools from its Pixel Watch series to stay competitive.
Google Fitbit Air is getting enhanced health features with the Google Pixel Watch 5 Health Guardian suite, which includes Insulin Resistance Trends, Blood Pressure Trends, and Sleep Breathing Quality. These tools are available for free on the Google Health app, making the Fitbit Air even more affordable and valuable compared to expensive rivals like Whoop.
Insulin Resistance Trends analyze physiological data to track metabolic health, while Blood Pressure Trends use LED technology to estimate pulse and motion patterns passively. Sleep Breathing Quality measures time spent in optimal breathing during sleep, and Google Health Coach can provide personalized advice using the AI chatbot.
While these features are general indicators, they can be valuable for some users, making the Fitbit Air a competitive choice against other wearable devices.
