# Fitbit Air: specs and price

**Price (US):** Not published (US MSRP $99.99 for the base Fitbit Air. Google's official announcement (blog.google/products-and-platforms/devices/fitbit/fitbit-air, re-fetched) states verbatim: "Fitbit Air is compatible with Android and iOS and available for pre-order, starting today for $99.99. It includes a three month trial of Google Health Premium." The Google Store product page showed 99,99 EUR and the Amazon listing EUR 87.53 (both geolocated to Germany at fetch time), so the USD figure is taken from the fetched Google announcement rather than a EUR retailer figure. Google Health Premium is optional ($9.99/month after the included 3-month trial). The Stephen Curry Special Edition is $129.99 and accessory bands start at $34.99 — neither is this base model.), as of 2026-07-09.

## What reviewers say

Two whitelisted hands-on testers (DC Rainmaker, Tom's Guide) reviewed the $99 screenless Fitbit Air, and both recommend it. Each verified the ~7-day battery and praised comfort, price and tracking. They split on optical heart-rate accuracy: Tom's Guide found it Garmin-reliable in step/run tests, while DC Rainmaker measured 20-40 bpm overshoot vs a chest strap in worst-case workouts. No TechRadar, PCMag, Wired or Verge hands-on found. (Based on 2 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2026-05-26–2026-05-27.)

Praised: Extremely light, comfortable, discreet screenless design you forget you're wearing; Verified ~7-day battery meeting the advertised rating; $99 price undercuts Whoop/Oura; Sleep and basic tracking close to pricier Garmin/Whoop devices.
Flagged: Limited auto-workout detection and exercise types; relies on paired-phone GPS; Optical HR overshoots in some workouts (measured 20-40 bpm vs chest strap); App quirks/bugs including a GPS track recording problem; AI Health Coach prone to hallucination (e.g. wrongly called a ride the longest ever).
Disagreement: Heart-rate accuracy divides them: Tom's Guide's walking, 50-jumping-jack and 1.5-mile-run tests found the Air as reliable as a Garmin Forerunner 70 on either wrist, whereas DC Rainmaker's wrist-to-wrist workout comparisons showed 20-40 bpm overshoot vs a Garmin HRM-600 chest strap in worst cases, with Whoop beating it.
