Google Unveils Fitbit Edge: A Mid-Range Wearable Between Air and Pixel Watch
Google has officially launched the Fitbit Edge, a new wearable positioned between its simpler Fitbit Air and more advanced Google Pixel Watch. The device offers enhanced features compared to the older Charge 6 model while maintaining some of the simplicity users appreciate in basic trackers. The Fitbit Edge includes an OLED display that is 46% larger than the Charge 6, a physical side button, improved health sensors like EKG and skin temperature monitoring, and IP68 water resistance. It supports up to one week of battery life but lacks features such as NFC for contactless payments or built-in microphones/speakers. Priced at $179.99 with three months of Google Health Premium included, the Edge introduces improved automatic workout tracking using location data and routines, making it twice as accurate in recognizing activities compared to previous models.
