New Fitbit Air details how it compares to Whoop — and how it actually works

By Source Android Central Published

Google has officially unveiled the Fitbit Air, a slim, screenless fitness tracker priced at $99 that features a week-long battery life and competes directly with the Whoop wearable.

Key Points

  • The Fitbit Air weighs 12 grams and features a significantly slimmer profile than the Whoop fitness tracker.
  • Users can check battery status or dismiss alarms using double-tap gestures and integrated LED light patterns.
  • Pre-orders are open for $99, with a $35 Google Store credit available for orders placed before May 25.
  • The device is scheduled for wider availability and shipping beginning May 26, 2026.
  • Demo units are currently available for public viewing at select Google Store locations.

Why it Matters

This launch signals Google's aggressive expansion into the screenless wearable market, directly challenging established competitors like Whoop with a more compact and affordable hardware design. By offering a lower price point and integration with the Google ecosystem, the company aims to capture health-conscious consumers seeking lightweight, long-lasting fitness tracking solutions.
