‘Fitbit Edge’ leaks as Google’s next fitness tracker with ‘Apps’ & ‘Notifications’ - 9to5Google
Leaked retail listings reveal Google's upcoming wearable device, the 'Fitbit Edge.' The tracker features a new screen design, ECG sensors, and integration with Google services like Maps.
Why it matters
This leak provides insight into Google's strategy for the wearable market and the evolution of the Fitbit product line.
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.
