Google Fitbit Air to launch in India in October 2026
The Story in Brief
The Story in Brief
Google has confirmed that its Fitbit Air fitness tracker will launch in India in October 2026, Hindustan Times reports. The device, unveiled in the US this May for $99.99 (approx Rs 9,541), is already listed on Amazon India in three colours: Black at Rs 17,360, Blue at Rs 17,630, and Pink at Rs 18,470.
The Fitbit Air has no display, instead, a lightweight fabric loop houses sensors including an optical heart rate monitor, SpO2, skin temperature, and a 3-axis accelerometer. It offers 24/7 heart tracking, Afib alerts, sleep tracking, and up to seven days of battery life. The Google Health Coach app, requiring a premium subscription, provides automated workout guidance.
The Indian Opinion
The Indian pricing of the Fitbit Air, roughly double the US sticker, will test whether buyers value a display-less tracker for its comfort and long battery. Google's decision to put key coaching features behind a subscription adds another cost layer. The real test will be whether the Amazon listing prices hold at launch or drop to match international expectations.
