Google teamed up with the Pokémon Company to introduce a special-edition Fitbit Air that works with the Pokémon Sleep app.
Google is responding to criticism of its Fitbit replacement with a cleanup roadmap for Google Health, starting with workout fixes this week and expanding into sleep, nutrition, Coach, and data-sharing updates.
Google Health is getting photo-based food logging, medical records integration, Apple Health and Peloton compatibility, improved sleep tracking accuracy, and a Gemini-powered coach.
The Gemini-powered health coach will act as a combination fitness coach, sleep expert, and health and wellness advisor.
Fitbit’s 4.68 update goes beyond a typical patch; it brings back sleep log editing, introduces Conversational Check-Ins with your Coach, and delivers step-by-step workout guidance.
With no screen to distract you, the Fitbit Air focuses on the basics while offering fun colors at a friendly price.
Google’s upcoming screen-less band will be called the Fitbit Air. The company plans to rebrand Fitbit Premium to Google Health, moving wellness features firmly under the Google brand.
Fitbit’s app redesign is no longer behind a waitlist; free users can now access the new four-tab layout alongside fresh features, including calorie tracking, mood logging, and a revamped stress score.
