Luna Band Outshines Fitbit Air with Revolutionary Feature
Summary generated by Smart Answers AI
To Summarize:
- Comparing the Luna Band (£115/$149) to Fitbit Air, Tech Advisor notes Luna’s advantage of offering all features without monthly subscription fees.
- Fitbit Air requires a £7.99/$9.99 monthly Google Health subscription, while Luna provides a one-time purchase option with unique LifeOS software.
- Luna Band includes body-calendar tracking and voice-first functionality, making it an attractive budget-friendly choice for users avoiding recurring costs.
Fitbit Air was released today and praised as “the screenless tracker to beat”. While it has many appealing features, the additional cost of Google Health may deter some users.
The new app has replaced the old one and Fitbit Premium subscription. Priced at £7.99/$9.99 per month or £79.99/$99.99 annually, users might hesitate due to the added expense despite Fitbit Air’s affordability.
A Premium subscription is required to access key software features of the new Google Health app, including the Gemini AI-powered Health Coach, described as a “game-changer” in the review.
Whoop Strap, a significant competitor, operates on a subscription model where the band is included.
However, the Luna Band enters the market as a cost-effective alternative for budget-conscious individuals.

Priced at around £115/$149, the Luna Band offers no additional fees. It comes in four colors, and Luna does not require a monthly fee for data access or advanced features.
The effectiveness of the LifeOS software in comparison is debatable. Luna’s unique approach may cater to a different market segment.
Described as a “body calendar” designed to optimize performance, it organizes your day based on Luna Band data. The “voice-first wearable” feature is exclusive to iPhone users, utilizing Siri for voice input without app access.
We look forward to reviewing the Luna Band upon its July release to determine if it truly competes with Fitbit Air and Whoop Strap.
