Google Launches Screenless Fitbit Air Fitness Tracker in India at ₹13,999

Published:

In brief

Google's Fitbit Air, a screenless fitness and health tracker, went on sale in India on October 2, 2026, priced at ₹13,999 through the Google Store and retail partners. The device offers 24/7 heart-rate and sleep tracking, up to seven days of battery life, and a bundled three-month trial of Google Health Premium.

Google began selling the Fitbit Air, a screen-free wearable fitness tracker, in India on October 2, 2026. The company said on its official India blog that the device is priced at ₹13,999 and is available through the Google Store as well as retail partners.

The Fitbit Air is designed to be worn continuously, with Google describing it as "simple, affordable and comfortable enough to wear 24/7." Unlike the Fitbit Charge or Google's Pixel Watch line, the Air has no display and no notification alerts, focusing instead on background health and activity sensing.

What the device tracks

According to Google's product announcement, the Fitbit Air uses a continuous optical heart-rate sensor to monitor heart rate around the clock, including irregular heart rhythm (AFib) alerts. It also tracks blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), resting heart rate, heart rate variability, and sleep stages and duration. The tracker automatically detects physical activity without requiring the wearer to start a workout manually.

Google states the device offers up to seven days of battery life on a single charge, and that five minutes of charging is enough to power the tracker for a full day.

Price, colors and where to buy

Google's blog post and the technology outlet 9to5Google both confirm the India retail price of ₹13,999, which 9to5Google converted to roughly $145. The tracker is offered in four colorways — Obsidian, Berry, Lavender and Fog — with band options that include a Performance Loop made from recycled materials, a sweat- and water-resistant Active Loop, and an Elevated Modern Band aimed at everyday wear.

Google said the Fitbit Air is sold through its own Google Store and through retail partners. 9to5Google said the device would presumably also be available through retailers such as Flipkart. Inshorts reported that Flipkart listed the Fitbit Air with a starting price of ₹11,699 as part of its Big Billion Days sale event, which began the same week as the India launch — a lower figure than the ₹13,999 price stated on Google's own blog. The discrepancy was not addressed directly by either source, and may reflect a temporary sale discount on Flipkart rather than a change to Google's standard retail price.

Software and compatibility

The Fitbit Air works with Android 11 or later and iOS 16.4 or later, per Google's announcement. Every purchase includes a three-month trial of Google Health Premium, which unlocks the Google Health Coach feature that provides personalized fitness and recovery guidance based on the tracker's sensor data.

9to5Google noted that a Stephen Curry special edition of the Fitbit Air, sold in some other markets, is not being offered in India, though all four standard colorways and band styles are included in the India launch.

Background

The India launch follows an earlier global release of the Fitbit Air in 2026, according to 9to5Google.
