I told myself the Fitbit Air would be a nice addition to my EDC. A simple, complementary tracker that I don’t need to worry about charging as often. I also told myself it won’t ever replace a dedicated smartwatch. It turns out I was very wrong.
I love the Pixel Watch 4. I think it’s Google’s best product of 2025 despite what feels like inconsequential changes. Not only does it look good, but it also complements basically any Android phone I’ve ever used for any period of time. Although that does apply to all of the previous versions, too.
When the first leaks appeared for the Fitbit Air, I’ll be honest. I had little interest.
Then the launch date came around, and curiosity got the better of me. With over £100 in Google Store credit accrued on the UK site, I figured I’d just get one to try out, since it’s free to me. And while I know this sounds like major hyperbole, but this off-hand decision has potentially changed my daily life in ways I genuinely hadn’t expected.
A wearable that doesn’t feel like a wearable
