Google's Tiny New Fitbit Air: First Look & Unboxing

Summary

A Google package arrived containing the new Fitbit Air, along with several bonus items. This isn't a full review, but a hardware unboxing focusing on the device itself and its accessories. The package included a Google Health tote bag, an athletic band, an elite band, and a premium presentation box. Inside this box was the Fitbit Air, a Steph Curry special edition, featuring his number 30 on the nylon band. The device itself is surprisingly small, appearing roughly the same size as a Fitbit Inspire 3 and significantly smaller than a Whoop 4.0 pod, weighing in at just 14 grams with the band. The 'pebble' containing the sensors pops out easily from the band. The charger uses a proprietary magnetic connector and USB-C, and is not compatible with the Pixel Watch 4. Two additional bands were shown: one with a hook closure and another athletic silicone band with a traditional buckle. The reviewer noted the quick and easy band-swapping mechanism. While many band options are available, an armband for bicep wear is currently missing. Early access to the Google Health app preview shows AI-driven health insights and core stats like step count and readiness score, with a full review coming in a few weeks.
