The Whoop rival, which features a fabric band and weighs just 12g, is priced at $99.99 / 84.99 (about AU$140), making it a
lightweight, minimalist option for health monitoring.
Features are exactly what you'd expect, including sensors for heart rate,
step count, calorie burn, skin temperature, and blood oxygen. All that data
is fed into the new Google Health app, which offers all the usual exercise, sleep tracking, and health guidance. You also get seven days of battery life and fast charging support, so it's a device that you can quite easily 'set
and forget'. Unsurprisingly, given its size, price, and lack of display, it doesn't offer the advanced features you'd find in other smartwatches. So, there's no notification support, Google Wallet integration, or GPS, just to name a few. I've gathered up where to preorder the Fitbit Air below, and included any standout launch deals, where available.

50 meters Should you buy the Google Fitbit Air? As someone who's still
rocking an ancient, slowly dying Fitbit Versa 2, I can see myself being tempted to upgrade to the Google Fitbit Air.
The price is the key thing, and at under $100 / 100, it's definitely well within budget. Battery life is solid at up to 7 days, and it supports all the standard health, exercise, and sleep-tracking features I like about my
current Fitbit. So, if you're after a no-fuss health and fitness tracker on a budget, it could be a very smart buy.
However, if you're an advanced user who likes access to your phone from your wrist, or if you're perhaps a running enthusiast who wants GPS tracking for your runs, then I can see the Google Fitbit Air being a bit too
feature-sparse for you. If that's the case, I'd suggest a read-through of our best smartwatches guide for all our latest recommendations that may better suit your needs.
