The Fitbit Air only has one ‘smart’ feature — and it's totally changed the way I start my day

Fitbit Air ($99, screenless) ships with a single "smart" feature: a haptic alarm with Google's Smart Wake, which wakes users up to 30 minutes early during light sleep stages, no audible sound, no notifications. For IT buyers evaluating wellness perks or BYOD device policies, it signals Google's deliberate push toward distraction-free wearables — subscription-free health tracking at a price point that undercuts Whoop significantly.
