Fitbit Air review $99 screenless tracker takes on Whoop

Fitbit Air is $99, no monthly fee, no screen. Whoop would like to not talk about this.

The Short Version

Google announced the Fitbit Air, a screenless fitness band priced at $99 with no subscription fees, competing directly with Whoop.

Fitbit Air costs $99 with no monthly fees, which puts Whoop in an awkward position: Whoop charges a subscription on top of the hardware price, meaning users pay more every year just to keep their data flowing. Apple's fitness tracking also leans on an Apple Watch plus an Apple One bundle to unlock deeper health features. Google is skipping the screen and the monthly bill entirely, which removes two of the main reasons people talk themselves out of buying a fitness tracker.
