Google has all but confirmed its upcoming fitness tracker, the Fitbit Edge, with teaser posts on Instagram and X hinting at an October 12 reveal.
The device appears to slot between the screenless Fitbit Air launched earlier this year and the more premium Pixel Watch 5. Google's posts show an image of what looks like a side button and include the caption: "Get an Edge on your health. 10.12.26."
Leaked images of the Fitbit Edge have circulated since at least August, with 9to5Google spotting an unnamed fitness tracker in Pixel 11 marketing materials. Android Headlines later revealed the device's name and details about its built-in apps and health tracking features. A report from French magazine Dealabs confirmed the design and name, adding info on battery life and possible pricing.
The Edge is rumored to last up to seven days on a charge with the always-on display disabled, or two days with it enabled. It could cost €179 (about $200) in Europe and potentially $180 in the US, compared to the Fitbit Air's $99 starting price.
The last similarly-sized tracker from Google was the Fitbit Charge 6 in 2023, making the Edge a likely successor. If reports hold true, it could serve as a stepping stone toward a Google Health Premium subscription. The full reveal is expected on October 12.
