‘Fitbit Edge’ leaks as Google’s next fitness tracker with ‘Apps’ & ‘Notifications’
Leaked retail listings reveal Google is developing a new fitness tracker called the 'Fitbit Edge'. The device features a bulbous screen, ECG sensors, and integration with Google apps, positioning it as a new entry in the wearable technology market.
Why it matters
This leak provides insight into Google's strategy to expand its wearable ecosystem and compete in the health-tracking hardware space.
Following an accidental marketing leak in August and FCC listing last month, retail listings for the “Fitbit Edge” have now emerged.
According to retail assets shared by Android Headlines , Google is making a new wearable called the “Fitbit Edge.”
There is a bulbous screen that appears to go much closer to the perimeter than that of any past Fitbit tracker. We see what is essentially a Pixel Watch face that’s been adjusted for this display shape. The time and date are joined by complications for heart rate, step count, and starting a workout.
On the back, we see the band removal mechanism at the top and bottom, and a sensor stack that looks pretty similar to the Fitbit Air. Google might even use the same magnetic charger.
