Google Fitbit Air launched in India; check price

Google has introduced the Fitbit Air in India, following its debut in the US months ago. The device becomes available for purchase starting October 2 for ₹13,999, offered in Obsidian, Berry, Lavender, and Fog. The standout feature of the Fitbit Air is its screenless, buttonless design that seamlessly syncs with the Google Health app. This enables effortless monitoring of vital signs like heart rate, sleep patterns, and oxygen levels without the distraction of a display.

Upon launch, the Fitbit Air is bundled with a complimentary three-month trial of Google Health Premium, granting access to comprehensive health features from the get-go. Post-trial, a subscription will be required. The tracker is scheduled to be sold exclusively through the Google Store and partnered retailers, making its debut on October 2 across India.

Weighing in at a minimalistic design, the Fitbit Air is described as the company's slimmest tracker, resembling a small pebble that clips onto interchangeable bands. Its unobtrusive appearance makes it ideal for continuous wear without causing discomfort. In terms of health tracking, the device monitors continuous heart rate, rhythm irregularities, blood oxygen saturation, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability. The data is then transferred to Google Health Coach for personalized insights and recommendations.
