Google launched the screen-less Fitbit Air fitness tracker in India. The device is priced at ₹13,999, or approximately $146, compared with $99 in the United States. The premium pricing could limit mass-market adoption in India despite the product launch. India is therefore a new geographic market for Fitbit Air, with positioning aimed above a low-cost wearable offering.
