Pokémon Sleep Tracker: Fitbit Air Special Edition

The update

Google and Fitbit have introduced a special edition Fitbit Air designed to work with the Pokémon Sleep app. The device, available for preorder starting today, features a sleeping Pikachu design and ships on September 15. It connects to the Pokémon Sleep app via Google Health Connect to sync sleep data and unlock in-game rewards.

Why it matters

This collaboration aims to make sleep tracking more engaging by turning rest into a game. The tracker monitors sleep stages and provides health insights, while the app rewards users with Pokémon based on their sleep patterns. It also includes three months of Google Health Premium, a service powered by AI to offer personalized sleep tips.

What to watch

The device comes in a “serene Sleepy Blue” colorway with a sleeping Pikachu design. It includes an AI-powered health coach through Google Health Premium. The tracker syncs with the Pokémon Sleep app via Health Connect on Android, allowing users to see Pokémon with sleep types similar to theirs gathered around Snorlax when they wake up.
