Google's new Fitbit Air, a $99.99 screenless fitness tracker launching May 26th, comes with a bonus band for preorder customers. The device marks Google's first Fitbit release in four years.

The fog-colored Fitbit Air works with both iOS and Android without requiring a paid subscription for basic features like activity tracking, sleep monitoring, and health metrics including heart rate and breathing rate. Users who want access to Gemini AI-powered features can subscribe for $9.99 monthly. The device represents Google's effort to compete in the wearables market with an affordable entry point. Preorder customers receive the second band at no additional cost, effectively expanding the tracker's versatility for different occasions or quick replacements. The deal incentivizes early adoption ahead of the May 26th release date. The Fitbit Air is not available through Amazon, limiting distribution to Google's own channels and selected retailers.
