Google has revitalized its Fitbit brand with the introduction of two new, budget-friendly wearables: the Fitbit Air and Fitbit Edge.
The Fitbit Air, released in May, is a screenless tracker priced at $99, positioned as a competitor to services like Whoop. Following this, the Fitbit Edge arrived in October, costing $179 and occupying a mid-range spot between basic trackers and premium smartwatches.
Both the Edge and Air distinguish themselves by incorporating AI-driven features. Importantly, these advancements are made accessible without the hefty price tag often associated with smartwatches and do not necessitate confinement to the Android ecosystem.
While full utilization of these devices may require a Google Health Premium subscription, they are presented as excellent alternatives for individuals seeking advanced fitness tracking without significant financial outlay. The Fitbit Edge's inclusion of a screen offers a key differentiator from the Air, potentially influencing purchasing decisions based on user preference.
