Google Unveils Screenless Fitbit Air and Google Health App to Replace Fitbit
The update adds an AI Health Coach and converts Fitbit Premium into Google Health Premium, with Fitbit Air priced at $99.99.
- On Thursday, May 7, 2026, Google rebranded the Fitbit app to Google Health and launched the $99.99 Fitbit Air, the first new tracker in three years.
- Replacing the 12-year-old Google Fit app, Google now prioritizes software-driven fitness through an AI-powered Health Coach that personalizes guidance by parsing user health data and medical records.
- Accompanying the hardware, Google Health Premium costs $9.99 monthly or $99.99 annually, while the screenless Air delivers seven days of battery life and 164 feet of water resistance.
- Preorders for the Air begin today, May 7, with store availability on May 26, enabling users to sync data seamlessly between the new wearable and the Pixel Watch.
- The launch positions Google to compete directly with screenless trackers like Whoop at a fraction of the $239 annual cost, though the shift raises user concerns about health data privacy.
