"Called the Google Fitbit Air, it's a screenless device that you can put in a wristband, chest strap or technically anywhere, really, depending on the accessory you choose. It's available for pre-order today for $100 and is basically a Fitbit, freed from its band. But of course, with a name like Air, the new gadget is a lot smaller than its predecessors."
"Since it doesn't have any buttons or a screen, the Fitbit Air is mostly a passive wearable that just sits on your person and collects information. It will monitor your heart rate all day, and with that data it can use the company's long-established algorithms to log your sleep, deliver details on your time spent in specific sleep stages and assign you a Sleep Score each night."
"The Air can also detect "signs of AFib with irregular heart rhythm notifications" and help you "understand your heart rate variability (HRV) and its impact on your overall wellbeing." You won't need to worry about having to pull out your phone to start logging a workout session, by the way, The Fitbit Air has auto activity detection like most of its peers."
Google introduced the Fitbit Air, a compact screenless wearable that can be worn in various ways through different accessories. Weighing only 5.2-12 grams, it is significantly smaller than previous Fitbit models and rated more comfortable than leading competitors. The device passively monitors heart rate throughout the day and uses established algorithms to track sleep stages and generate Sleep Scores. It detects irregular heart rhythms associated with AFib and measures heart rate variability. The Fitbit Air features automatic activity detection for common exercises like running, walking, biking, and rowing without requiring manual logging.
