In 2026, it seems that fitness trackers are losing screens and gaining followers. In a world of buzzing notifications, users seem to be moving to a more peaceful approach when it comes to keeping an eye on their sleep, stress, and movement goals.
I’m in the other camp — I review fitness tech for a living, so there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t have multiple devices strapped to my pulse points. For the past week, I’ve been road-testing the newly released Fitbit Air — Google’s first Fitbit-branded product since the Charge 6, and a $99 screenless tracker that looks set to take on the likes of Whoop.
I’ve been impressed with how lightweight and comfortable the band is, and I’ve been using it to track my sleep, alongside my Oura Ring 4.
