Google Fitbit Air - Screenless Activity Tracker with Fitness, Heart Rate, and Sleep Tracking - Personalized AI-Powered Coaching - Up to 7 Days’ Battery Life - Works with iOS and Android - Obsidian

A really great fitness tracker. It’s great not to have to think about charging very often (an hour every ten days). Unlike the whoop it’s thin so definitely easier to wear continuously, I barely notice I’m wearing it to be honest. The app is good, the included three month trial of Google Health Premium is a nice thing to try out but I’m not going to continue that afterwards as I don’t need the AI coaching, that said, it’s very good at what it does and can help you with everything from food to gym routines. For the price, it’s well worth buying if you want to track everything without the screen or ridiculous subscription of the Whoop strap.

This is exactly what I was hoping for. Light weight, put it on and forget about it. Long battery life so no need for daily charging and the metrics seem accurate after a day of testing. For me there is only one negative of the design and that is the haptic motor. As the design is so small this means the motor is also so small. So the vibrate alarm is VERY gentle. If you are planning to use this to wake you from sleep. You may find it lacking. Other than that. It’s perfect for what it is. *Update* after using it all week, it hasn’t once failed to wake me from sleep with its soft vibration.

This tracker really falls into 2 categories, the hardware - the tracker band itself, and the Google health app. For the band I give it a solid 5 stars. it's very light, I hardly notice I'm wearing it all day, the battery life is excellent, it charges quickly, and it connects well with the app. No complaints. Now to the app. The Google Health app premium version was free for 3 months so I figured I may as well give it a try. I think the app can be described as clunky. It's not well designed, it's too complex, too many menus and sub menus, too cluttered, and it can be difficult to find stuff. I turned off a load of functionality that it tries to get you to use, just to get the screens to look less cluttered. The premium app is heavily dependent on an AI agent, which is called the Coach. The Coach gives you a lot of messages, all in an effort to encourage you. But it's far too intrusive for my liking. It's also as poor as every other AI I have used, and that's not great seeing as it's dedicated to this particular app. I tried creating workouts, which it did, but the workouts are buried in sub menus and difficult to find. As you have probably realised I really dislike the premium app. I may just use the basic version of the app after my free trial ends, which appears to be the functionality I need, and it gets rid of the AI and that's a good thing for me. For the premium app 2 stars.

Fantastic bit of kit. The app and the integration with AI is very intuitive. Well laid out app. Super light weight, barely feel like you are wearing anything and look good too. So I can wear my traditional watch on my right hand and this on my left. Also if you like your kettlebells, because all th important stuff is on the inside, you can wear your Fitbit without smashing it.

If you aren’t desperate to have a screen this is so much thinner and comfortable to wear. The strap it comes with is perfectly fine but I will doubtless end up buying so different colours. Otherwise this is a perfect solution to fitness and health tracking.

Had the product since launch and here is my review after about 3 weeks of wearing this thing pretty much continuously The band looks good and is mostly comfortable to wear, but it is quite fiddly to put on, but when on it is secure. The material is supposedly waterproof. I have tried showering with the band on and it takes a long time to dry Battery life seems to be on par with what is advertised around 6-7 days and it charges quick with an apple 20 watt charger Now lets talk about the app I think it needs to be redesigned with bigger and more customisable stats/data, for example I want to see heart rate way bigger than what is shown in the current version of the app and you should be able to drag and drop It also needs to be simplified overall, just way too much going on, quite overwhelming. I would prefer a more graphical interface with more charts with less text, speaking of, there is too much text and ai slop that repeats itself, personally I don’t find it particularly helpful. Be careful what you discuss with it because like an elephant, it never forgets The sleep tracking seems all over the place sometimes saying that I had barely any rem sleep but I can remember dreaming, and personally I find it quite uncomfortable to wear to bed, something about it makes by wrist itchy and inflamed The readiness score seems to be completely arbitrary too Overall I find wearing the device adds unnecessary anxiety to my life and going forward, I will probably only wear it when working out to track heart rate, steps and calories.

So I've had this for about a week now and I've seen a lot of mixed reviews. A lot of complaining that there "isn't enough data" or the "AI is too in your face". There is plenty of data, you need to wear it for a while for it to calibrate and give you the data but realistically, if you are a data driven athlete who understands what every data point means, you most likely do not have the requirement for an £85 wrist monitor. Go get a better device like a Garmin, Coros or Hume/Whoop. The AI integration is where this thing shines. Sure you're giving a fair bit of information to Google but they probably have it already so relax. The AI Coach allows you to, easily and in plain language, communicate how you feel, how you're recovering, what muscles hurt etc etc and it'll dynamically adjust the workload for the day or week. It's able to take a long term goal and chop it up into short term milestones without you needing to spend hours on research. Quite simply put, you get to be the athlete and it gets to be the coach. Hardware wise, the HR monitor is accurate, the step tracking is a little off on longer activities but outside of a GPS enabled running watch, they kind of all are. Battery life is as advertised and the charging speed is decent, pop it on charge while you shower and it'll be most of the way to 100%. Sleeping with the band is much easier than with a smart watch and no bright shining screen to wake you up. If you want a straight forward get fit, stay fit solution where you have the option of just doing what you're told. This is it.

It is very suitable to use it. Application is user friendly and device itself is very accurate. It is synced to AI so I believe over the time it will do even better metrics. It is very comfortable to wear and after few hours you will not even feel that there is something on your whirst. As a person who cannot sleep with watches on the whirst I am not feeling any issues when sleeping with it.

It doesn't work.

للاسف حسبة الخطوات غير صحيح بتاتا بمجرد احرك يدي وانا منسدحه يحسبها خطوات

I love it! 😍 👌 barely notice im wearing it at night and during the day. Its also distraction free, looks discrete, thin and ultra light and can wear with a normal analog watch. Honestly dont understand the "hate" towards Google Health. The app is fantastic, beautiful UI, and has 99% of the features on the Free plan.

Bra passform, bra data och smidigt format.

Une super alternative au whoop et son modèle d’abonnement. Discret, les datas sont fiables et la détection d’activité fonctionne très bien. Super tracker pour ceux qui veulent pouvoir porter une montre classique au poignet !
