At a time when everything demands our attention, more companies are leaning into the idea that consumers might want something that we can mostly ignore. The Fitbit Air fits into a growing category of devices like the Oura Ring 4 and Whoop bands that aim to minimize their presence while monitoring everything in the background.
I've been testing the Fitbit Air for just over a week, and it's easily becoming one of my favorite new wearables. It does all the health and fitness tracking that I want, but without the distraction of a display. And while some users may prefer the functionality of a device like the Pixel Watch 4, the Fitbit Air is perfect for anyone who doesn't want a smartwatch weighing them down.
