Fitbit Edge: Google reportedly preparing GPS fitness tracker with up to seven-day battery

Google is preparing the Fitbit Edge fitness tracker, which leaked details indicate will include GPS, an altimeter and up to seven days of battery life. The device could replace the Fitbit Charge line, which has not received a new model since 2023.

The tracker is expected to have a small oval display, automatic activity recognition and smartphone notifications. Its limited app selection is said to include Google Maps, YouTube Music and Find My Phone.

Fitbit Edge will not use Wear OS

Fitbit Edge will support both Android and iOS but will not run Wear OS. That separates it from the Pixel Watch 5, which is intended only for Android users.

Design and strap mechanism

Images obtained by Android Headlines show the tracker in black, green and orange versions matching Google’s Obsidian, Olive and Canyon colors. The green and orange models reportedly have two-tone bezels, while elongated buttons sit on both sides of the case.

Google is expected to use a clip-based strap replacement mechanism different from the Pixel Watch system.

Expected price and launch timing

Android Headlines expects a presentation by the end of October. The projected price is $149–199, based on earlier Fitbit Charge pricing and the Fitbit Air’s $99 starting price.

At about $149, Fitbit Edge would sit above typical smart bands priced below $80 and target products such as the Xiaomi Band 10 Pro and Huawei Band 11 Pro. The supplied material does not confirm the official specifications, price or launch date.
