I am ditching my Pixel Watch 4 for the Fitbit Air. Here's why

After a year with my Pixel Watch 4, I realized I primarily use it for step counting and workout tracking. I saw my dad using a Fitbit Air for a month and questioned whether I needed a smartwatch. The Fitbit Air quietly tracks my sleep, heart rate, and exercise without distracting me with notifications. It fits into my routine better than the Pixel Watch 4, which requires frequent restarting and app updates.

The Fitbit Air's longer battery life (up to seven days) is also a significant advantage, especially for my active lifestyle. Watching my dad use the Fitbit Air made me appreciate how maintenance-free it is, and I want a wearable that focuses on health tracking without the distractions of a smartwatch.
