Google's Fitbit Air Gets a Pokémon Makeover for Franchise's 30th Anniversary

Google has teamed up with Pokémon to create a special edition of its Fitbit Air wearable. The device, priced at $129, is designed for fans of the popular franchise and combines health tracking features from Fitbit with gameplay elements from Pokémon Sleep.

Pokémon Sleep, launched in 2023, turns bedtime into a game by rewarding players for going to sleep on time and improving their sleep quality. The special edition Fitbit Air syncs with both Google Health and Pokémon Sleep, allowing users to track daily movement, heart rate, and cardio load during the day, as well as record sleep duration and quality overnight.

The standard Fitbit Air costs $99 and features a slimmer design, improved health tracking, and an AI-powered coach that provides personalized guidance based on user data. The special edition device will be available for preorder starting September 15 and can be purchased online or in stores through the Google Store and Target.
