Google’s new Fitbit Edge gives you a screen without going full smartwatch

If the Fitbit Air is too little, and the Pixel Watch too much, the Fitbit Edge may be for you! Google’s new Fitbit Edge gives you a screen without going full smartwatch.

The Fitbit Edge will be in stores starting October 27 for $179.99. Google’s sleek new Fitbit Edge is packed with health features and a replaceable battery.

The newest wearable to Google’s lineup doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of a Pixel Watch but it’s more advanced than the Fitbit Air while still maintaining a slim profile and a minimalistic OLED display. Like the Pixel Watch, the Fitbit Edge can tap into the Google Health Coach that’s powered by Gemini, provided you have a Google Health Premium subscription.

Google’s wearable will then compile all your fitness, health and medical info to create weekly routines and workout plans that can automatically adjust depending on your schedule. Google said that the Fitbit Edge is capable of tracking more than 50 exercise modes and will offer real-time visual guidance that nudges you to push harder or take a break.

According to Google, the latest wearable has a 40 percent improvement when it comes to tracking accuracy for its built-in GPS. Along with new clock faces for the Fitbit Edge that you can switch between quickly, Google lets you customize the complications to better highlight the things you care about, whether it’s step count, sleep score or the weather.

The Fitbit Edge features Google’s Health Guardian that’s designed to detect major shifts in health metrics over time, including blood pressure or insulin resistance.
