Google’s screen-free fitness tracker, the Fitbit Air, has appeared on Flipkart with a price tag of Rs. 13,999, signaling an imminent India launch. The listing, currently marked as “Coming Soon”, suggests the device could be available as early as October 2, according to a leak from tipster Sanju Choudhary.
The Flipkart listing aligns with earlier rumors that pegged the price between Rs. 12,999 and Rs. 13,999. Although Google has not confirmed the final price or exact launch date, the company has stated that the Fitbit Air will reach India in October.
Unlike traditional smartwatches, the Fitbit Air does away with a display entirely. Weighing just 12 grams, it operates discreetly in the background, tracking a wide range of health metrics including heart rate, SpO2, skin temperature, and movement. The data can be accessed later via the Google Health app.
The device automatically recognizes workouts and supports over 40 exercise modes. It also measures heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep stages, steps, calories burned, distance, and cardio load. Battery life is rated at up to seven days, with a five-minute charge sufficient for a full day of use. The tracker is water-resistant to 5 ATM, making it suitable for swimming, and connects to Android and iOS devices via Bluetooth Low Energy.
The Fitbit Air first went on sale globally in May at a starting price of $99.99. With its India launch approaching, Google aims to offer a simpler, screen-free option for health-conscious users who prefer not to wear a full smartwatch.
