Google has launched its screen-less Fitbit Air fitness tracker in India at ₹13,999 (about $146), compared to $99 in the US.

GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The steep India pricing could limit adoption in a market where local brands like Noise and Urban compete aggressively on cost, and where screen-less wearables already account for just 5% of the wearable market according to Counterpoint Research. Google's positioning suggests it is betting on brand strength and premium features rather than volume to compete against Garmin, Whoop, Oura and the Fitbit founders' new venture Luffu Link in this emerging category.
- Fitbit Air costs ₹13,999 in India versus $99 in the US
- Device offers heart rate, A-fib, blood oxygen and sleep tracking without a screen
- High pricing may limit mass adoption given India's price-sensitive wearable market
