Amazon Bundles $34.99 Active Band With $99.99 Fitbit Air Preorders Ahead of May 26 Launch

$99.99 Fitbit Air preorders at Amazon now include a free Active Band worth $34.99, giving buyers extra value without cutting the tracker’s list price.
May 26 is the release date for Google’s new Fitbit Air, a lightweight, screen-less fitness tracker positioned as a lower-cost option in a category where sub-$100 devices are uncommon.
The bundled Active Band is a waterproof silicone strap aimed at workouts, swimming and showering, but Amazon’s free version is only offered in a small size for 130-175 mm wrists.
Google is offering a different preorder incentive on its own store—a free $35 credit that can be used toward another band—giving larger-wrist buyers an alternative before launch.
Is the Fitbit Air's real price not $100, but a recurring subscription to Google's AI health coach?
