The teaser comes from Fitbit’s official Instagram account, which posted a close-up image of what appears to be a slim, screenless wearable with the caption: “Buckle up. 5.7.26.” Assuming the US date format is being used, you’ll note that’s tomorrow. So, unless Fitbit is suddenly getting into some other aspect of the jewelry space, we’re likely looking at an imminent reveal for its next fitness tracker.
Instagram Fitbit’s Instagram account posted three images that stitch together as shown.
The image doesn’t name the device, but it lines up neatly with what we’ve previously heard about the upcoming Google Fitbit Air. The leaked device is expected to be a screenless fitness band, putting it much closer to the likes of WHOOP than a traditional Fitbit tracker such as the Charge 6.
