Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

I put my knee out yesterday.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

I want to take a bit of a break on the running tomorrow.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

Can we work on something else that doesn't impact that I don't need to, you know, run as much.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

All that kind of stuff is really kind of clever and how AI has been implemented.

So, yeah.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

Yeah, and I think that's, you know, what are they, pro-hobbyists or whatever, but even just general consumers that just want that little bit of extra insight, that extra bit of support.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

And I think the pricing, kind of going back to your comment at the start about Whoop Killer, that's kind of where

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

Google are coming in, I want to say like aggressively, because this device is 99 euro upfront.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

You log on or you go into a shop, you pay 99 euro, it's handed to you and you do not need to pay any subscription.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

You do get the kind of the entry level tracking systems.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

You get the tracking of your steps, your sleep tracking and a couple of other things.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

They do offer then the Google Health Premium subscription, which is just $9.99 a month, which gives you access to all of those kind of interactive features we were speaking about, where you talk to the coach, you kind of track your meals, your sleeps, the whole shebang.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly

It comes back with guidance.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

It comes back with recommendations.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

And that then is part of that $9.99 subscription.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

Whereas obviously, as you said, the Whoop is more premium in terms of the offering it gives.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

and the people it's targeting.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

So that is a yearly subscription of 200 euros starting, and that's ongoing.

Tech Talk with Jess Kelly
Google's FitBit Air: The WHOOP killer?

If you want to use a Whoop, you need to pay that subscription at least

to keep the device functional.
