The 12-gram tracker offers 24/7 heart-rate, AFib, blood-oxygen and sleep monitoring, lasts up to a week, and goes on sale on 26 May after pre-orders open.
Google said Fitbit Air is 25% smaller than the Fitbit Luxe and 50% smaller than the Inspire 3, with automatic activity tracking, 50-metre water resistance and Pixel Watch pairing.
The launch comes with the Fitbit app's rebrand to Google Health, Gemini-powered Health Coach for Premium subscribers, and Google's plan to phase out the Google Fit app later this year.
