Google officially acknowledged its next fitness tracker, the Fitbit Edge, by teasing the device on X and revealing its launch date of October 12, 2026. The announcement comes after the device leaked earlier this month, revealing full specifications and rumored pricing. The Edge features a 1.34-inch AMOLED display and promises a 7-day battery life, though this drops to 2 days with the Always-on display enabled.
It includes 40 built-in exercise modes and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity. Health tracking capabilities are extensive, covering steps, distance, heart rate, calories, sleep, menstrual cycle, skin temperature, and advanced metrics like atrial fibrillation detection, irregular heart rhythm monitoring, cardiac load, fitness level, and VO2 max. The tracker is rated 5ATM and IP68 for water resistance.
Physically, the device measures 11.58mm thick, 39.22mm tall, and 25.56mm wide, weighing 17.7g. Google has not yet confirmed the final retail price, though leaks suggest a cost of €179 in the Eurozone and £159 in the UK. The device will be available in four color options: Obsidian & Matte Black, Olive & Satin Pyrite, Canyon & Champagne Gold, and Fog & Polished Silver.
The launch signals Google's continued investment in the wearable fitness market as the wait for the device nears its end.
