Google’s new Fitbit will not have a screen… and will rely on AI

The world of wearables has come a long way since its first devices more than a decade ago. They have gone from devices with some Visible LED to determine very basic actions, at large touch screens where we can interact with the device in a comfortable and simple way. But it seems that Google wants to go back to its old ways with the launch of a new device under its brand Fitbit for health that lacks a screena direct competitor of Whoop.

Through Stephen Currythe popular NBA player, Google has revealed this new device with a Whoop-like appearance that is reminiscent of the first screenless wearables. Far from having technology from the past, this new device will be a complete physical activity monitor which will also include a subscription service to improve its functions, and a personal trainer based on artificial intelligence.

In terms of appearance, this new bracelet features a braided fabric along with a metal closurewhich will make it safer to wear when we play sports. This type of design aims for continuous use, more focused on the passive monitoring than in direct interaction with the user.

It seems that Google will charge for this bracelet and will offer some health functions for free, while other more complex and exclusive ones will be part of a additional paid subscription.
