Introducing the all-new Fitbit Air

The new lightweight, screenless Fitbit Air has a long battery life and offers in-depth health and wellness insights.

I'm thinking of retiring my ancient Garmin Instinct watch and getting something like a Casio with this strap for fitness tracking, anyone else in the same boat?

Just waiting for reviews to see how it pairs and works with iPhone.

It’ll get killed in 2 years. Can’t touch anything Google makes.

I mean if Apple makes a band that does tracking then I'd gladly get that but they don't, so whatever.

And Google seems to be okay with their hardware, still selling watches and phones.

Are you going to subscribe to Google Health Premium or will it provide the "insights" you need without it?
 
I also want something like this with no screen for health tracking and a very long battery life .
Is there nothing else in the market like this that would work with an iPhone?

Same. Was waiting on the Cirqa which was rumoured to launch in March but I’ve given up. Unless they come out with something sleeker. I’ll got for this Fitbit

I'm gonna wait for reviews first, I'm a bit confused whether you can use this as a watch band

Maybe, if you wear your watch on the inside of your wrist?

Wear Google Fitbit Air​

For the most accurate tracking, wear your Google Fitbit Air on top of your wrist, how you’d wear a watch. Make sure the sensor stays in constant contact with your skin to ensure it captures your data correctly.

I'm currently using the Amazfit Helio Strap.

Lots of people are going to be very disappointed with the fitbit strap if Google / Fitbit simply removed the screen and repackaged their existing hardware.
