I’m currently reviewing the new Fitbit Air, and after four days wearing it, I’m already obsessed.While the Fitbit Air is far from the most advanced fitness tracker on the market today — it doesn’t even have a screen or onboard GPS — a $99 price tag, playful design, and simple-to-use disposition make it a potentially compelling choice for wrists far and wide.With that in mind, these are the three biggest reasons why I’m smitten with the new Fitbit Air, so much so that it just might be my favorite wearable in 2026, at least, so far.1. Accessibly priced; plays well with others

That cost covers the tracker and one band; additional straps start at $34.99 via Amazon and come in a wide range of colors, and your choice of silicone or woven knit.Speaking of accessible, the Fitbit app… excuse me, the Google Health app (new name) plays nicely on both Android and iOS devices, offering users the same experience regardless of their OS preference; how democratic!2. Subscription and distraction-free tracking
(Image credit: Dan Bracaglia/Tom's Guide)With no screen and no buttons to get in your way, not to mention a diminutive footprint (more on that below), the Fitbit Air is the antithesis of wearables like the Apple Watch 11, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8, or the Google Pixel Watch 4, and that's the point!There’s also no NFC for mobile payments, no speaker or microphone for taking calls, and ultimately, nothing to distract you from living in the moment.Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.
