Since then, multiple leaks have suggested that Google has been working on a Whoop-style fitness tracker no screen. The wearable device reportedly collects data throughout the day and then presents information on your phone, rather than on a screen.
This category of wearable devices has been growing steadily, with brands like Whoop, Amazfit and others already in space. Now it looks like Google is ready to join in with its own version of a screenless tracker.

Previous leaks had suggested a launch around May 16, but now it looks like Google could be bringing things forward. With the Show Android and Google I/O 2026 Next, this timing actually makes sense, as it gives the Fitbit Air its own spotlight before the bigger announcements.

Android Central’s opinion
I’ve always liked the idea of screenless trackers, but they’ve never seemed complete to me. If Google can combine solid tracking with Gemini’s insights, this could be the first fitness band that actually tells me something useful instead of just showing numbers.
