Amazon preorder deal: Fitbit Air at $99 with free band

Google recently unveiled the Fitbit Air, a minimalist screenless fitness tracker that closely resembles the Whoop band but costs significantly less ($135 retail vs. Whoop's $239+). Now, Amazon is offering a preorder deal that drops the price to $99 — a 26% discount — and includes a free silicone active band in Obsidian or Fog (normally $35). The tracker itself comes in Berry, Lavender, or Obsidian. This is the first Fitbit without a display, targeting users who want a discreet, lightweight device for tracking steps, sleep, recovery, and stress without the bulk of a smartwatch.

The Fitbit Air weighs only 12 grams (less than half of Whoop's 26 grams) and lasts one week on a charge. A quick 1-hour charge gives you a full day's battery for workouts. For deeper insights like recovery visualization and personalized sleep needs, users can opt for Google Health Premium at $100/year. This preorder deal is valid until the official release on May 26. Given the product hasn't launched yet and you're already getting a discount plus a free band, ZDNET rates this deal 4/5.
