9to5Google • • technology
Key Points:
- Google is launching the new Fitbit Edge tracker on October 27, positioned between the screen-less Fitbit Air and the premium Pixel Watch 5, with pre-orders already available.
- The Fitbit Edge features a significantly larger screen than previous models, offering enhanced software that mimics the Pixel Watch experience, including customizable watch faces and panels.
- It supports core fitness tracking functions like heart rate, sleep, and workouts, plus live syncing with Google Health and third-party devices, and includes GPS functionality compatible with Google Maps.
- Unlike the Fitbit Charge 6, the Fitbit Edge does not support Google Wallet, which may impact the user experience for some buyers.
- The device uses the same Active Band style as the Pixel Watch and shares a charger with the Fitbit Air, potentially simplifying accessory use for users with multiple Fitbit devices.
