Google unveiled the Fitbit Air, a screenless, modular fitness band, and rebranded the Fitbit app as the Google Health app, per Google’s May 7 blog post. The company said the new Google Health Coach, an AI-powered trainer previously in Public Preview, will be integrated into the app and exit beta on May 19, 2026, with Premium plans starting at $9.99 per month or $99 per year (Google blog). The Verge reports Google executives framed the Air as a simple, comfortable tracker for broad use and quotes Rishi Chandra, Google vice president of health and home, saying the band is aimed at users who find current wearables “too complicated, too bulky, or too expensive” (The Verge). Forbes and other outlets report the Fitbit Air will retail for about $99 (Forbes).
