Google rebrands Fitbit Premium and Health Coach as it launches new Fitbit Air

It's finally here. Weeks after teasing a screenless fitness band, Google has introduced its answer to the likes of Whoop: the Fitbit Air.

23h ago David Uzondu

I found Whoop's ‘set-and-forget’ fitness tracker super useful, but too expensive — so how does Google's new screenless challenger, the Fitbit Air, compare?

Common questions on Fitbit, surfaced from across the indexed web.

What’s all this Premium fitness going to cost you?

As you’d expect, Premium means “paid,” and just like Fitbit Premium before it, Google Health Premium requires an ongoing subscription. In order to access the personalized training and extended feature set, users will have to pay $9.99 a month, or $99 annually. That’s up from the $79.99 Fitbit Premium has been charging, so a lot of eyes will be on Google to see whether or not all this new functionality is worth the value. On the plus side, Google Health Premium will be a free perk to users on Google AI Pro and Ultra plans.

Fitbit is now Google Health — and it's not just a simple rebrand
