- The price of the “Fitbit Air” limited edition “Sleepy Blue” is 19,800 yen (tax included).
- By linking the “Pokémon Sleep” app with Android’s “Health Connect” or iOS “Health,” sleep data measured by the “Fitbit Air” is synced to the “Pokémon Sleep” app and reflected in the app’s progress.
The “Sleepy Blue” limited edition model of the “Fitbit Air”—a screenless wearable tracker from Google’s subsidiary fitness tracker manufacturer Fitbit, which was surprise-announced by Google late last month on Thursday, August 27, 2026 in collaboration with the “Pokémon Sleep” app born from Nintendo’s immensely popular “Pokémon” game series—has finally been released today, Tuesday, September 15, 2026.
The “Fitbit Air” limited edition “Sleepy Blue” features a blue-themed limited edition band inspired by the “Pokémon Sleep” app, complete with a custom silk-printed label of a “Dozing Pikachu” on the strap. The core unit and basic functions remain the same as the standard “Fitbit Air.”
The price for the “Fitbit Air” limited edition “Sleepy Blue” is 19,800 yen (tax included). This is set 3,000 yen higher than the standard model’s price of 16,800 yen (tax included).
Meanwhile, “Pokémon Sleep” is a sleep-gaming lifestyle app where you track your sleep by placing your smartphone by your pillow and collect various sleeping faces of Pokémon. Combined with the advanced sleep-tracking features of “Fitbit Air” and “Google Health,” it offers users a fun and healthy sleeping experience.
By linking the “Pokémon Sleep” app with Android’s “Health Connect” or iOS “Health,” sleep data tracked by the “Fitbit Air” will now sync with the “Pokémon Sleep” app and be reflected in its gameplay progression.
“Fitbit Air”
The “Fitbit Air” is a screenless wearable tracker designed to make the most of the Gemini-powered health coaching feature “Google Health Coach” (formerly known as “Personal Health Coach”).
It consists of a screenless core unit equipped with an optical heart rate monitor, 3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, red and infrared sensors for blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring, skin temperature sensor, and a vibration motor, paired with interchangeable wristbands that house the core. It delivers advanced fitness tracking including 24/7 heart rate and heart rhythm monitoring with atrial fibrillation alerts, blood oxygen (SpO2), resting heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and sleep stages and duration. The core unit weighs a mere 5.2g, with a total weight including the band of only 12g.
Because the “Fitbit Air” features a screenless design, tracked information can be viewed via the “Google Health” app (formerly the “Fitbit” app).
Three types of wristbands are available: the “Active Band” made from recycled materials, the sweat- and water-resistant silicone “Performance Loop Band,” and the classic “Premium Modern Band,” each offered in multiple color variations.
The “Fitbit Air” supports up to one week of battery life on a full charge. It also supports fast charging, providing a full day’s worth of charge in just 5 minutes.
While wearing the “Fitbit Air,” you can manually start workouts from the “Google Health” app to begin fitness tracking, but it also automatically detects when you start exercising and initiates tracking on its own. The auto-detection feature becomes more accurate and personalized the more you use it.
Furthermore, the “Fitbit Air” supports long-awaited device switching. For example, it supports seamless switching between devices, such as wearing the “Google Pixel Watch” during the day and the “Fitbit Air” while sleeping.
