Fitbit Air: Get Moving with a Free Active Band Deal
For many individuals, fitness trackers offer a convenient way to monitor their activity and health data in their daily lives without the need for a fully-featured smartwatch. Especially appealing to those who prefer discreet tracking and minimal notifications on their wrist, simple and unobtrusive models are highly sought after.
The recently launched Google Fitbit Air caters to this demand, providing an alternative to Whoop and soon Garmin. Available for pre-order on Amazon with an official release date of May 26, the tracker is currently being offered as a bundle with an additional Active Band for just £84.99, a 29% discount from the RRP of £119.98. This essentially means that the second wristband is included at no extra cost, providing customers with the choice of various colors such as Berry, Fog, and Lavender in sizes S and L.
While the same deal is available at retailers like John Lewis, Currys, and Very, some may require a code for activation.

What the Google Fitbit Air brings to the table
Recently unveiled by Google, the Fitbit Air is designed for users seeking a discreet wearable without a display. Instead of notifications or visual prompts on the wrist, the device focuses solely on health and fitness data, which can be analyzed through the Google Health app on compatible iOS or Android devices.
Continuously monitoring your heart rate, the Fitbit Air aids in assessing your overall health status. It also offers continuous activity tracking and personalized goals for weekly cardio training. The system is tailored to individual needs, providing personalized recommendations over time.
Google emphasizes the new Google Health Coach, offering users three months of personalized coaching based on collected data to provide specific training and health advice.
The compact design of the Fitbit Air is ideal for daily wear, described as the smallest tracker by Fitbit. It is lightweight and comfortable for all-day use, including sleep tracking, a feature often overlooked by larger smartwatches that are typically removed at night for charging.
The Fitbit Air boasts a battery life of up to a week, with a quick five-minute charge providing enough power for a day. This convenience is beneficial for users with busy schedules.
The additional sports wristband, made of silicone and sweat-resistant, is waterproof and suitable for workouts and daily wear. Users can easily change the look by swapping out the wristband module, with color options available on Amazon.
Why this offer is valuable and its target audience
The current pre-order deal is compelling as it includes an additional sports wristband at no extra cost. This is advantageous for those undecided on colors or in need of a spare strap.
Offered at a discounted pre-launch price, the Fitbit Air bundle is enticing for early adopters.
However, the Fitbit Air may not suit everyone’s preferences, especially those expecting a traditional smartwatch experience with a display and notifications. The device is tailored for users focused on health tracking without constant screen-checking.
As the product is set for release on May 26, reviews are not yet available to gauge its everyday usability or measurement accuracy. Stay tuned for Tech Advisor’s upcoming review.
