Google is preparing to launch its new Fitbit Air in India. It is a screenless fitness tracker designed specifically for those who want to monitor their health and fitness throughout the day without wearing a bulky smartwatch. According to the company, the Fitbit Air will be available in India in October 2026.
This device will join the Pixel Watch 5 as part of Google's wearable portfolio. The Fitbit Air was first introduced to the global market in May 2026.
What will be the price of the Fitbit Air in India?

Google has not yet revealed the price of the Fitbit Air in India. In the US, the base model is priced at $99.99, while the Special Edition costs $129.99. Based on these prices, the cost in India could be around ₹15,000, though this is merely an estimate.

Compact, screenless design

The standout feature of the Fitbit Air is its screenless design. It is a small, lightweight, pebble-shaped device that can be worn comfortably all day long.
It does not feature a display; instead, you must use the Google Health app on your phone to view health and fitness data. The advantage of this design is that the device remains compact and unobtrusive.

24/7 Health Tracking
Despite its small size, the Fitbit Air is equipped with several health sensors. It can continuously track metrics such as heart rate, heart rhythm, AFib alerts, SpO2 levels, resting heart rate, and Heart Rate Variability (HRV).

Additionally, the device records sleep-related data, including various sleep stages and sleep duration. This helps users gain insight into their daily health and sleep patterns.

Battery life of up to one week
Another key feature of the Fitbit Air is its battery. Google claims it can last up to seven days on a single charge. This is a highly practical feature for users who prefer not to charge their smartwatch or fitness tracker every night. Compatible with both Android and iPhone
The Fitbit Air is not limited to Android; it will work with both Android and iOS devices. Additionally, Google will offer various band options, including a sweatproof and waterproof 'Active Band' designed for workouts.

'Performance Loop' bands and 'Special Edition' bands are also available in some international markets. Details regarding which of these options will be released in India have not yet been revealed.
In short, the Fitbit Air could be an appealing choice for those who do not require a smartwatch screen or an extensive feature set, but instead prioritize 24/7 health tracking, long battery life, and a compact design. Information regarding its actual price and availability in India will become clear closer to the October launch.
