Google began rolling out the first software update for the Fitbit Air this week, targeting both Android and iOS devices. The patch, identified as version v67.20001.253.2, appears in a staggered rollout, meaning many users have yet to receive it. Patch notes list only “bug fixes and general improvements,” sparking speculation that early complaints may finally be addressed. Early reviewers said battery life stayed solid overall.

Early adopters reported problems with automatic workout detection, inconsistent sleep scores, and connectivity hiccups between the band and the newly rebranded Google Health app, including missed heart‑rate spikes during workouts. Google publicly pledged to fix those issues shortly after launch, and the current update is expected to carry the long‑awaited improvements, though the changelog remains vague.

The rollout gives Google a chance to prove its commitment to the Air’s screen‑less concept, which differentiates it from rivals like Whoop. If the fixes resolve the core reliability concerns, the device could regain momentum among fitness enthusiasts seeking a significantly minimalist tracker for daily use. As of now, users must wait for the patch to propagate before judging its impact.
