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

Google has introduced a new wearable device called the Fitbit Edge. The product is positioned as a midpoint between the Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch 5, offering a blend of features from both categories.

The Edge provides more functionality than the Fitbit Air but does not include the full suite of smartwatch capabilities found in the Pixel Watch 5. It is described as not being a real smartwatch, indicating a focus on core fitness and health tracking rather than extensive app integration.

In terms of design, the Edge retains a sleek aesthetic similar to the Fitbit Air. It is equipped with an OLED display, delivering sharper visuals and improved readability compared to earlier models that used LCD screens.

The device is priced at $179.99, placing it in the mid‑range segment of wearable technology. This price point reflects its positioning between the more basic Air model and the higher‑end Pixel Watch 5.

The Fitbit Air, which the Edge builds upon, is considered the successor to the Fitbit Charge 6, continuing the line’s emphasis on fitness tracking while adding refined styling and display upgrades.
