Google has launched the Fitbit Edge, a new fitness tracker positioned between the Pixel Watch 5 and Fitbit Air. Priced at $180, it offers a 1.34-inch OLED display, IP68 water resistance, and seven days of battery life. The device includes on-device GPS, ECG, blood oxygen, and skin temperature sensors—features absent from the Fitbit Air.
Unlike the Pixel Watch 5, the Edge lacks NFC, a microphone, speaker, and full Wear OS support. It runs a simplified software interface with pre-defined quick replies and no Gemini AI integration. The tracker syncs via Bluetooth 5.4 to the Google Health app and includes three months of Google Health Premium, a $10/month subscription.
A Stephen Curry Special Edition is available for $220, and a metal band costs $150 extra.
