Summary
$99 Fitbit Air has become the author's preferred overnight tracker, replacing the Pixel Watch 4 at bedtime while leaving the watch charged and ready for daytime use.
Google Health lets both devices feed the same data stream without manual switching, so heart rate, workouts and sleep records stay sorted across the screen-less band and smartwatch.
The lighter Air also fills an at-home role, feeling less intrusive at a desk and cutting evening notification fatigue while still covering basic activity tracking.
The author still sees the Pixel Watch as the more valuable all-day device for notifications and glanceable information, but says the Air has carved out a practical niche despite being an unnecessary extra purchase.
