Google announces the Fitbit Edge, a middle ground between Pixel Watch 5 and Fitbit Air

Google has unveiled the Fitbit Edge, a new fitness tracker designed to bridge the gap between the entry-level Fitbit Air and the premium Pixel Watch 5. Positioned as a successor to the aging Charge 6, the Edge features a sleek, pill-shaped 1.34-inch OLED display housed in an aluminum frame with IP68 water and dust resistance. While it lacks the full app ecosystem of the Pixel Watch 5, it offers a more compact form factor and a significantly lower price point. The device supports both Android and iOS via the Google Health app and boasts a seven-day battery life, which decreases to two days when the always-on display is enabled. With 46 percent more screen area than the Charge 6 and robust health tracking capabilities, the Fitbit Edge aims to provide a refined, mid-range wearable experience for users seeking a balance between functionality and affordability.
