Overview
- Google announced the Fitbit Edge on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026, set preorders the same day at $179.99 and plans retail availability starting Oct. 27, with a Stephen Curry special edition priced at $219.99.
- The Edge features a 1.34‑inch AMOLED display, built‑in GPS with a new chipset that improves route accuracy, ECG, SpO2, skin‑temperature and optical heart‑rate sensors, and an IP68/5ATM rating for water and dust resistance.
- Battery life is roughly seven days with the always‑on display off and about two days with it enabled, and the device is Fitbit’s first with a user‑replaceable battery to ease repairs and extend device life.
- The tracker runs a redesigned Fitbit OS and links to Google Health for features like Health Guardian and Gemini‑powered coaching, with three months of Google Health Premium included and paid subscription required for some advanced insights.
- Positioned between the screenless Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch 5 as a successor to the Charge line, the Edge sacrifices NFC and on‑device audio to preserve battery and form factor, a trade‑off that affects contactless payments and taking calls from the wrist.
