Overview
- Google announced the Fitbit Edge on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026, with pre-orders open and retail availability set for Oct. 27, 2026.
- The Edge has a 1.34-inch always-on AMOLED display, built-in GPS, an altimeter, and a physical side button in an 11.5mm aluminum case.
- Google rates battery life at up to seven days with a non-always-on display, a five-minute charge for roughly one day, and the Edge is Fitbit’s first model with a user-replaceable battery.
- Health hardware includes ECG electrical sensors, SpO2 red/infrared sensors, continuous optical heart-rate monitoring and a far-field skin temperature sensor, with some trend features gated behind Google Health Premium.
- The tracker deliberately omits NFC and on-device mic/speaker functionality to preserve battery life and cost, positioning the Edge between the screenless Fitbit Air and the full-featured Pixel Watch 5 while tying more value to Google Health services.
