A Fitbit Air update later this month recognizes 100+ activities, and a $69.99 metal band arrives.
A Fitbit Air update later in October expands automatic activity detection from about 10 activities to more than 100.
A new model blends motion with your routine, history and, if allowed, location. Sessions of 15 minutes with elevated heart rate get logged.
Google says detection is nearly twice as accurate and cuts missed workouts by more than half. Pixel Watch models get it too.
The Metal Mesh band comes in silver or gold. A gold bundle with a Performance Loop costs $149.99. It ships later in October.
The band is nice, but smarter detection is the real reason to keep wearing a screenless Fitbit Air.
