The Fitbit Edge is for folks who don’t want to go totally screenless
Google has officially launched the Fitbit Edge, a new fitness tracker positioned between the Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch. It features a larger OLED display, a replaceable battery, and advanced health sensors like EKG and skin temperature monitoring.
Why it matters
The device offers a middle-ground option for users who want smartwatch features without the bulk or screen fatigue of a full-sized wearable.
The Fitbit Edge may not be Google’s best-kept fitness-tracking secret, but as of today, its existence is official.
The tracker sits smack-dab between the recently launched Fitbit Air and the more powerful Google Pixel Watch 5 in the company’s current wearable lineup. Basically, if you have smartwatch fatigue but don’t want to give up notifications, this is Google’s answer to the aging Fitbit Charge 6.
