Amazon cuts Fitbit Air to $99, includes free band

Amazon $99 – Amazon is discounting Google’s newly debuted, screenless Fitbit Air ahead of its May 26 release. Preorders cost $99 instead of $135 and come with a free active band—plus the option to pay for Google Health Premium to unlock deeper recovery and strain insights.

Fitness-trackers usually come with a choice: wear something chunky, or live without the watch-style look. Fitbit Air is aiming to dodge both, and Amazon is leaning into that with a preorder discount that’s available only until the device’s May 26 release.

Google debuted Fitbit Air last week. and it lands with a screenless design that looks strikingly similar to the Whoop band—while costing $100 less.. Right now. Amazon offers a preorder price of $99 for the Fitbit Air. down from $135. meaning the deal starts before the official launch even arrives on May 26.

The preorder package is built around choice and bundling.. Buyers can pick the Fitbit Air color—Berry. Lavender. or Obsidian—then they also receive an Obsidian or Fog silicone active band to go with it.. Each band retails for $35, effectively turning the bundle into “one free” band as part of the $99 offer.. The discount lasts through the preorder period, up to May 26, after which the deal expires.

Fitbit Air is positioned for a more general fitness audience. focused on basic metrics such as steps. sleep. recovery. and stress.. There’s also a meaningful upgrade path for people who want more detail: if you subscribe to the Google Health Premium membership for $100 annually. you’ll get more in-depth insights. including extensive data to visualize recovery and strain. as well as sleep needs compared to logged time asleep.

The hardware pitch is equally straightforward.. Fitbit Air weighs just 12 grams. compared to Whoop’s 26 grams. and it’s described as the first Fitbit without a screen.. Battery life is set at one week. with a quick charge requirement of 1 hour to reach a full day of battery if you’re rushing to a workout.

When Fitbit Air releases at the end of the month. it will cost $136—so the current preorder price keeps the total down while adding the extra band.. In ZDNET’s deal-rating system. the 26% off preorder is tagged as a 3/5 deal. but the writer rated it 4/5 because the product hasn’t been officially released yet and the discount is arriving in advance.

The sequence of the offer is pretty tight: Amazon’s preorder deal starts at $99 instead of $135, includes a color choice plus a silicone band that each retails for $35, and it runs only until May 26—matching the date Fitbit Air officially launches.

By the time May 26 arrives, the preorder discount ends. After that point, the deal disappears, and the Fitbit Air price is expected to be $136 at release—leaving the bundle and the lower upfront cost behind.
