Overview
- Google announced the Fitbit Edge on Monday, October 12, opening pre-orders at $179.99 in the U.S. and a Stephen Curry special edition at $219.99 with retail availability set for October 27.
- The Edge has a 1.34‑inch always-on AMOLED (hybrid OLED) touchscreen, a tactile side button, Bluetooth 5.4, onboard GPS and an aluminum body available in four finishes with swappable bands.
- Health hardware includes ECG, SpO2, optical heart-rate and a skin‑temperature sensor plus an altimeter, and Google says the device can auto-detect up to 100 workouts and track more than 50 exercise modes.
- Battery life is rated up to seven days (about two days with always-on display), five minutes of charging adds roughly one day, a full charge takes ~90 minutes, and Google bills the Edge as its first repairable Fitbit with a service-replaceable battery.
- The Edge runs Fitbit-branded software integrated with Google Health rather than Wear OS, mirrors notifications, offers Google Maps turn-by-turn and media controls, and bundles a three‑month Google Health Premium trial that unlocks Gemini‑powered coaching and Health Guardian trend insights.
