Google offers a free Fitbit Air to customers who preorder through its store, trading in a premium smartwatch. The deal arrives a month before the official May 25 launch, giving early adopters a clear incentive. Eligible devices include the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and newer Apple Watch models, which provide the trade‑in credit.

At a retail price of $99.99, the Fitbit Air sacrifices a display for a slim, minimalist design. It records heart rate and SpO₂, tracks sleep, and counts steps, uploading data to the free Google Health App. Compatibility spans both iOS and Android, allowing users to pair it with other wearables for added flexibility.

Google’s choice to omit a screen mirrors the strategy of devices like the Whoop, focusing on passive health monitoring instead of flashy displays. This approach keeps the band lightweight and affordable, appealing to users who prioritize data over on‑device interaction. The trade‑in offer also nudges owners of high‑end watches toward a more cost‑effective fitness companion.

With the preorder window already open, consumers can secure a Fitbit Air at no cost by surrendering a top‑tier smartwatch. Once shipped on May 25, the band will deliver continuous biometric tracking without the distraction of a display, positioning Google as a contender in the minimalist fitness‑tracker segment.
