The New Fitbit Air: A Special Edition Inspired by Pokémon Sleep
The highly anticipated special edition of Google’s Fitbit Air is here, taking inspiration from the beloved Pokémon Sleep game. This unique device features a charming “Sleepy Blue” band adorned with a snoozing Pikachu, effectively capturing the nostalgic aesthetic of classic Pokémon cards. While it may not be precisely Snorlax blue, the color choice resonates well with fans of the franchise. Priced at $129, this special edition is available for preorder, with shipments set to begin on September 15th, coinciding with the celebration of Pokémon’s 30th anniversary.
A Celebration of Pokémon
This redesigned Fitbit Air is part of a broader celebration by Pokémon, which also includes the launch of a special edition collection of playing cards. As Pokémon enthusiasts prepare for this momentous occasion, the release of the Fitbit Air serves as a creative integration of health technology and popular culture.
Innovative Features of Pokémon Sleep
Notably, the Pokémon Sleep game supports a range of wearable devices, making it accessible to a wide array of users. Compatible with devices from major brands like Apple, Google, Garmin, and Samsung, Pokémon Sleep allows players to not only track their sleep statistics but also collect Pokémon around a virtual campsite. With the Pokémon Fitbit Air, users can enjoy personalized data from Google Health while sporting Pikachu on their wrist. Interestingly, the game can also be played without the need for a wearable, providing flexibility for users.
Previous Special Editions
The Pokémon Sleep Fitbit Air marks the first special edition of Google’s screenless wearable following the Stephen Curry edition that launched earlier this year. For those interested in a standard model, the base version of the Fitbit Air is available for $99, offering the essential features without the Pokémon flair.
