Fitbit’s official Instagram account recently posted a teaser With the caption “Gird up your loins. 5.7.26.” Some slides show a light blue band with a steel buckle.
The design looks similar to the Pixel Watch woven band, and it’s in line with previous leaks pointing to a device called Fitbit Air. All signs point to the launch happening tomorrow.
In another teaserFitbit posted a clip about general health-related questions that ends with a “thinking” prompt, suggesting the company may have news about its Gemini-powered personal health coach, which has been in beta since last year.
Earlier leaks suggested a launch around May 16, but now it looks like Google may be pushing things forward. With Android Show and Google I/O 2026 coming up, the timing really makes sense, giving the Fitbit Air its own spotlight ahead of the big announcements.
Reports suggest it could launch for around $99 with multiple band options, similar to the Pixel Watch lineup.
There are also rumors that Google may rebrand Fitbit’s software experience under a new Google Health name, although nothing has been confirmed yet. That said, we won’t have to wait much longer, as the Fitbit Air may be officially unveiled soon.
