TL;DR
- Fitbit Air can be used together with Pixel Watch.
- However, the Fitbit Air cannot be used together with other Fitbit devices.
Google’s recently launched Fitbit Air is a lightweight, screen-less fitness accessory that offers passive wellness tracking. While you can use it as your main fitness tracker, you can also use it with the Pixel Watch. With this quality-of-life feature, you can swap between the two without disconnecting or unpairing either device. However, if you’re thinking of getting a Fitbit Air, don’t expect it to do the same with other Fitbit devices.

As we mentioned earlier, companion apps typically only allow one device to be connected at a time. However, the Fitbit Air is special, as confirmed by Google Android Authority It can connect to the Google Health app even if the Pixel Watch is already connected. This capability can come in handy when you need to remove your Pixel Watch to charge. But the company isn’t exactly clear about using the Fitbit Air with other Fitbit devices.
Unfortunately, you can’t use the Fitbit Air and a separate Fitbit tracker at the same time. This means you get to choose which device remains connected to the software formerly known as the Fitbit app. In a way, this makes the Fitbit Air feel almost like a Pixel Watch accessory.
Although the Fitbit Air won’t work well with other Fitbits, it won’t be the only Fitbit device that works together with the Pixel Watch. Google plans to bring the same capability to older Fitbits in the future. The company hasn’t given any timeline, but says it will be coming soon.
