Google’s new Fitbit Air, the $99.99 screenless fitness tracker, comes out on May 26th. It’s the company’s first Fitbit release in four years, and you can use it on iOS or Android phones without a paid subscription if all you want to do is track activities, sleep, and basic health metrics (heart rate, breathing rate, etc.). However, for a monthly $9.99 fee, it can tap into Gemini AI-powered features that aim to help you make improvements to your workouts and recovery.

All purchases include a textile/polyurethane band that the sensor-filled puck fits into. A perk of preordering ahead of launch is that you’ll get a free second band, or enough store credit to buy one on your own, depending on where you buy from. Amazon is offering the berry, blue, or black color options (but not the greenish fog) that include a silicone band, in white or black, in small or large, for $99.99 (normally $134.99). You can make your choice of band color and size on the Fitbit Air product page.

Best Buy is also including a free silicone band with preorders of the Fitbit Air. All you have to do is add one to cart, then a small, black silicone band will be added automatically. Unfortunately, you can’t choose which color or size you get with your preorder at Best Buy, but it’s obviously no big deal if you wanted a small, black band anyway.

Lastly, the Google Store is offering an incentive to preorder. The company will simply reward you with $35 in store credit once the preorder ships so you can buy the one you want.

We have a piece up on the Fitbit Air, with info on its capabilities, and how it stacks up against older Fitbit models (as well as the competition). The team behind the Air is also readying the new Google Health app for launch on iOS and Android, which will bring deep, personalized health metrics so you can get even more out of your tracker. We’ll have a review of the new Fitbit Air in the coming weeks.
