  "account": "Google has officially launched a third-party accessory for its popular Fitbit Air smartwatch, the Pulse Band from accessory maker dbrand. Priced at $34.95, the Pulse Band is the first officially certified Fitbit Air band to be sold directly through the Google Store. The band is made of medical-grade silicone and features built-in airflow channels and a moisture-wicking matte black finish. The introduction of the Pulse Band comes five months after Google made 2D CAD drawings and official instructions publicly available, allowing accessory makers and enthusiasts to develop their own bands. However, the move has not yet resulted in a significant increase in the number of third-party options for the Fitbit Air.",
