The topic PSA: Don\u2019t buy the Fitbit Air expecting it to work with your Charge or Versa<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s recently launched Fitbit Air is a lightweight, screenless fitness accessory that offers passive wellness tracking. While you can use it as your main fitness tracker, you can also use it simultaneously with the Pixel Watch. With this quality of life feature, you can swap between the two without having to disconnect or unpair either device. However, if you\u2019re thinking about picking up the Fitbit Air, don\u2019t expect to do the same with other Fitbit devices.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve mentioned previously, companion apps typically allow only one device to be connected at a time. However, the Fitbit Air is special, as Google confirmed to Android Authority that it can connect with the Google Health app, even if the Pixel Watch is already connected. This capability could come in handy when you need to remove your Pixel Watch to charge it. But the company hasn\u2019t been quite as clear about using the Fitbit Air alongside other Fitbit devices.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, you cannot use the Fitbit Air and a different Fitbit tracker at the same time. That means you\u2019ll have to choose which device stays connected to the software formerly known as the Fitbit app. In a way, this almost makes the Fitbit Air feel more like a Pixel Watch accessory.<\/p>\n

Although the Fitbit Air won\u2019t play nicely with other Fitbits, it won\u2019t be the only Fitbit device that works simultaneously with the Pixel Watch. Google plans to bring the same capability to older Fitbits in future. The company hasn\u2019t revealed a timeline, but says it will come soon.<\/p>\n
