The Fitbit Air is one of the most interesting new wearable devices we’ve seen from Google\/Fitbit in some time. The screen-less design is WHOOP worthy, the Pixel Watch tie-in is interesting, and the $100 price tag is great. For Fitbit enthusiasts, the Air looks pretty attractive right out of the gate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Although Google is pitching the Fitbit Air as a lightweight, small fitness tracker that can be used either on its own or as a Pixel Watch companion, many people likely have one big question on their minds: why not make a smart ring instead?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ora Ring is extremely popular. Samsung also has its own smart ring with the Galaxy Ring. Why not make the Fitbit Air a smart ring too? It seems like that’s the route Google should have taken, but as someone who’s worn a smart ring for the past few months, I think Google made the right decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Do you want Google\/Fitbit to make a smart ring?<\/h3>\n
