Google Health 5.0’s new home screen widget is a real upgrade over the old Fitbit steps bubble. The app underneath it is a more complicated story.

Whoop’s response to Fitbit Air and Google Health is real doctors, not just an AI chatbot.

Google’s Fitbit Air is a screenless $99 Whoop rival, and its core features don’t need a subscription

The Fitbit Air weighs 5 grams without its strap, tracks heart rate, blood oxygen, skin temperature, and steps around the clock, lasts seven days on a charge, and costs $99.99.
