Google announced a Pokémon Sleep edition of the Fitbit Air on September 1, 2026, priced at $129.99, with preorders now open. The Fitbit Air is a small sleep and health tracker that measures heart rate, activity, oxygen saturation and skin temperature, storing up to seven days of minute‑by‑minute motion data and lasting up to seven days on a single charge. The new edition uses the same hardware as the standard Fitbit Air but features a Pokémon‑themed design intended to signal a player's interest in the Pokémon Sleep game. Pokémon Sleep converts sleep data into a collection mechanic, assigning sleep types based on nightly rest and revealing Pokémon around a Snorlax when the user wakes. Google said the device contains no functional changes beyond the themed aesthetic and provides the same health metrics as the regular model. Preorders began on the same day as the announcement, and the product will be sold through Google's online store and select retailers. In addition to the Fitbit release, Nintendo has hinted at upcoming titles in the Pokémon Winds and Waves series for the next Switch console, though details remain limited. The launch offers a way for fans to display their engagement with Pokémon Sleep through a wearable, but the company has not indicated any new sleep‑tracking features beyond those already available.
