10km Showdown: Fitbit Air vs Apple Watch Ultra 3 on heart rate and calories

On a 10km run, the author compares Google's new screenless Fitbit Air with the Apple Watch Ultra 3, using a Polar H10 chest strap as a backstop (which malfunctioned). Both devices rely on optical HR to estimate calories, but the Air piggybacks on the iPhone’s GPS (no built‑in GPS) while the Ultra 3 has built‑in GPS, so Apple is expected to be more accurate for distance metrics. Health data from Google Health and Apple Health aren’t linked in this test. The piece also touches on Fitbit’s app changes and the Air’s AI Health Coach, with the run results shown in a navigable on‑page chart detailing heart rate, calories, and pace differences.

Google Health readies a broad upgrade wave with fixes, Coach tweaks, and data sharing

Google has outlined a comprehensive rollout of bug fixes and new features for the redesigned Google Health app, with improvements spanning exercise tracking (correct run labeling, run splits, faster map loading, TCX exports across devices), nutrition logging (duplicate logs prevention, better meal types, energy-burn accuracy), sleep features (missing Sleep Scores fixed, 24-hour sleep view including naps), and upgrades to Google Health Coach and Ask Coach (more visuals, concise messages, memory improvements, log deletion, core temperature logging). Additional updates include plans for more structured Fitness Plans, enhanced metric views and dashboards, data sharing with Apple Health and Smart Health Links, and improved account migration (June: delete child accounts). Google Health Premium and Google Fitbit Air are now available, with ongoing updates planned through summer and Apple Health sharing on the roadmap.

Google's Fitbit Air aims to out-slim Whoop with a screenless, battery-friendly design

Google’s Fitbit Air is a slim, screenless fitness tracker designed to rival Whoop, promising up to a week of battery life in a lighter, smaller form factor (12g) with a left-side LED status light and a double-tap to check battery or dismiss alarms. It’s priced at $99 with a $35 Google Store credit for pre-orders before May 25, and wider shipping begins May 26; demo units are live in Google Store locations, and side-by-side comparisons show the Air is notably slimmer than Whoop.
