The Fitbit Air is Google’s non-intrusive wearable, free of distracting screens. From pictures alone, at times it may look like the screenless wearable device is the band itself. That’s not the case, however, and you can get one or two of the best Fitbit Air bands to dress it up as the occasion demands.
For now, first-party options are the only available straps for the Fitbit Air. I will be updating this guide periodically, so keep an eye on this space for third-party options once they’re available. For now, here are the best Fitbit Air bands you can buy today.

Google Fitbit Air Performance Loop Band
Best overall
The Performance Loop Band already comes with the watch, but you might want an extra color to spare. There are four colors, two with silver and one each with black and golden clasps. The adjustable band is made of recycled polyester and elastane yarn.
Google Fitbit Air Active Band
Best for rough use
The Fitbit Air Active Band is a silicone strap that’s fully waterproof, so you can sweat profusely while working out with zero worries. This durable strap also comes in four colors, has small and large sizes, and costs the same as the Performance Loop Band.
Google Fitbit Air Elevated Modern Band
Best premium
In search of a more upscale look? The Fitbit Air Elevated Modern Band is truly luxurious. Available in three classy neutral shades, this polyurethane band only comes in one size. However, the size is quite versatile and fits wrists between 130–210mm.
The current roster of Fitbit Air bands is minimal but refined
Clearly, Google really learned a thing or two about what the public wants over the years. All of the Fitbit Air bands resemble the best Pixel Watch 4 bands, and the pricing is identical too. As someone who adores first-party Pixel Watch bands, I have no complaints in this regard. In fact, my only qualm is the lack of a metal band for the Fitbit Air.
The Google Fitbit Air Performance Loop Band and the Fitbit Air Active Band are priced the same at $34.99 apiece. Both bands come in the same four colors: Obsidian, Lavender, Berry, and Fog. These basic pieces blend seamlessly with any outfit and barely weight anything.
The synthetic yarn build naturally makes the Performance Loop Band lighter, but it is not waterproof. So if you want something more durable, you better grab the Active Band instead.
Meanwhile, the Fitbit Air Elevated Modern Band comes in three neutral colors that scream old money: Moonstone, Obsidian, and Porcelain. Here’s the kicker — the fancy Elevated Modern Band costs a whopping $49.99. That’s half the price of the wearable itself, so if you decide to purchase this luxurious strap, you must be feeling very extra. But if you can afford it, by all means, please treat yourself to this gorgeous band!
