You're getting a $35 extra band on Amazon vs a $35 google store credit (that you would probably purchase a band with). So same price if you plan on getting the extra band.
This Fitbit Air bundle stands out for the included extra band and the flexibility to choose a different band through Google store credit. The screenless tracker is appealing for arm wear, especially for comfort and for avoiding interference with gloves or wrist protection. The fog band is described as a rubber workout strap, while the cloth band may be less suited to heavy sweating or swimming. The main tradeoff is the high price for a no screen tracker, especially with short Google store returns.
Shoppers who plan to swap straps, because the Google credit can be used to buy a different band color or style.
The hardware is expected to have fewer sensors than the Pixel Watch and Fitbit Sense, and early hardware impressions are unclear about whether upgrades were made.
Amazon is better if you want the included extra band, while Google is better if you want a $35 store credit to choose a different band color or style. The choice depends on whether you prefer the bundled strap or flexibility.
It does not work on a bicep band out of the box, and Google has no short-term plans to release one. Third-party arm-band options are likely to appear soon.
Amazon includes a $35 extra band, while Google includes a $35 store credit. If you would use the credit to buy a band anyway, the two offers are effectively the same price.
A new-signup offer or ID.me verification for students, military, or veterans can add 10% off. That can lower the effective price beyond the listed deal.
I would personally only order the black one, and of course that doesn't come with the bonus. The others are fine if you want a statement piece, but the whole point of me getting a screenless tracker would be for it to not look distracting so I could also wear a watch. But good deal if you like a berry-colored strap on your arm!

I pre ordered the black one from Best Buy last week that came with a free band

But there will definitely be third party options available. Likely VERY soon too.
