The Google Fitbit Air is a fitness tracker with no screen. It is a sensor module on a fabric band that tracks heart rate, sleep and activity around the clock and sends everything to the Google Health app on your phone. Google sells it for £84.99, with up to a week of battery, and on 11 October 2026 Amazon UK had the Obsidian band at the same price, sold by Amazon.

Every earlier Fitbit had a display. The Air has none, so there are no notifications, no clock and nothing to tap. You wear it day and night and read your data in the app when you choose to.
Google launched it in the UK in May 2026, at a lower price than its watches and the Oura Ring. It was developed with the basketball player Stephen Curry, and Google's paid coaching, built on its Gemini AI, sits on top.
If you would rather wear the same idea on a finger, our Oura Ring 5 page covers the ring at £399.
There is no GPS, so runs and walks need your phone with you for distance. Tech Advisor's review also found no NFC, so there are no contactless payments.
With no screen, you cannot check the time, a timer or your heart rate on the band itself.
The AI coaching is the main reason to use the app daily, and after three free months it costs £7.99 a month, which is £95.88 a year.
It is a fitness tracker, not a medical device. If the app flags anything about your heart, see your GP.
Amazon UK sells it new, sold and dispatched by Amazon, at the same £84.99 as Google. The specifications are on Google's UK store page, and Tech Advisor's review got a full week from a charge.
For a tracker with a screen and built-in GPS, the Fitbit Versa 4 is the closer Fitbit.
