What is the Google Fitbit Air?
The Fitbit Air is Google's take on the "wear it and forget it" tracker. There's no screen and no notifications on your wrist. A small pebble sits in a soft band and tracks you all day and night, and you read everything in the Google Health app on your phone. It detects activity automatically, so you don't have to start every walk or workout yourself.
The tracker clicks out of its band, so you can switch looks: the included Performance Loop for everyday wear and sleep, a sweatproof Active Band for training, or the Elevated Modern Band for the office and evenings.
How much is the Fitbit Air in India?
Google launched the Fitbit Air in India on 2 October 2026 at ₹13,999. At Drip Culture it's ₹12,749 (at the time of writing) in Obsidian, Berry, Lavender and Fog, with free shipping across India.
Does the Fitbit Air need a subscription?
No, not for the basics. Heart rate, HRV, SpO2, sleep and activity tracking work in the Google Health app without paying. Google Health Premium unlocks extras such as Google Health Coach, and the Fitbit Air comes with a 3-month Premium trial. After that, Premium is a paid monthly plan that you can choose to keep or cancel.
Fitbit Air vs WHOOP vs Garmin CIRQA: which screen-free tracker should you buy?

Which Fitbit Air special edition should you get?
- Stephen Curry Special Edition (₹16,999): co-designed with Steph Curry. A Performance Loop band in rye brown and game-day orange with a water-resistant coating and a racing-stripe print for airflow.
- Pokémon Sleep Special Edition (₹17,999): a "Sleepy Blue" band with a Sleeping Pikachu label. Your sleep data works with the Pokémon Sleep app, where better sleep earns more rewards.
Both use the same Fitbit Air tracker, so the difference is the band and the collector appeal.
