​A Breath of Fresh Air for Your Wrist: The Ultimate "Anti-Smartwatch" ​If you are tired of bulky smartwatches that constantly buzz with notifications and clash with your outfits, the Google Fitbit Air is exactly what you've been waiting for. This screenless tracker is a masterclass in minimalist design. 

Google Health does not have any computer web interface at all, the app itself is terrible, you can not minimize the timer while you explicitly hit an exercise so you can not use your phone for anything else during that time, cardio load metric is always misleading for everyone and is actually dangerous and should never be the top metric on any device.

Great fitness tracker. Band was a little tight getting over my large hands but once over it fit my wrist well. Wish band was a little large to go over my foot and placed on my ankle.

Love it. I've gone through a graveyard of smartwatches and fitness bands over the years, and the thing that always killed it for me was the screen: the notifications, the glowing rectangle begging for attention, the battery that died every other day. The Fitbit Air fixed all of that, and I'm kind of obsessed. The screenless design sounded gimmicky at first, but it's the whole point. There's nothing buzzing at me, nothing to swipe, nothing to charge constantly. It just quietly does its job in the background while I get on with my life. It's so light I genuinely forget it's on. I've slept in it every night for weeks without it bothering me once. (Full honesty: it took me about two days to get used to the feel against my skin, and then I stopped noticing it entirely.) The battery is unreal. I get about a week per charge, and when it does run low, five minutes on the cable gets me through a full day. After years of nightly charging, this still feels like a small miracle. But the part that's actually changed my habits is the coaching. The Gemini-powered insights in the Google Health app don't just dump numbers on me. After a rough night or a hard workout, it nudges me toward recovery and an earlier wind-down, and the suggestions genuinely make sense for my day. The sleep tracking and readiness score have made me way more intentional about rest. I also love that I can swap bands in seconds depending on whether I'm working, sweating, or sleeping. And it works perfectly with my iPhone, which I wasn't sure about going in. For a hundred bucks, this thing punches so far above its price it's almost unfair to the competition. If you've been eyeing Whoop but balking at the subscription, do yourself a favor and try this first.

Lightweight on arm, but rubbed the inside of my wrist slightly raw before I returned it. Google Health AI is ok. But just asking it simple health questions or suggestions forced it to not give me an answer because of “community guidelines.” Even the question of how much juice mixed with how much sparkling water for a decent flavor/concentrate was blocked. Wasn't worth keeping so I returned it.

I'm really disappointed with the accuracy of this device. I've walked on my treadmill over an hour today, and the fitbit currently shows 1588 steps. I should be closer to 6000. I've tried wearing the device on my wrist and ankle and held it in my pocket with similar results.

Perfect for my small wrist size. Not a full smart watch. But I was interested in pulse monitoring. Excellent

Much better than the Apple Watch

I bought this mainly to track swim laps but am happy with all the features. The alarm that wakes you by vibrating on your wrist is a favorite.

Comfortable, detailed and a great tool for keeping track of daily activity and progress, I loved the basic band that first came out so this screenless model is exactly what I’ve been waiting for
