Leaked Images Reveal Google’s Midrange Fitbit Edge
New leaks provide a first look at Google’s upcoming midrange fitness tracker, the Fitbit Edge, showcasing its design and features in a series of images. Speculated to succeed the Fitbit Charge series, the Edge blends elements from both the Pixel Watch and Fitbit Air.
Features and Capabilities
The Fitbit Edge, boasting a compact display capable of showing widgets, is reportedly equipped with a seven-day battery life, built-in GPS, and an altimeter. This makes it more advanced than the minimalistic Fitbit Air. Additionally, it will support a limited number of apps, including Google Maps and YouTube Music, though it stops short of being a full-fledged smartwatch.
Market Position and Price Predictions
With the Fitbit Charge last updated in 2023, the release of the Edge is anticipated. While specific pricing and release information are currently unavailable, estimates suggest the price might fall between $150 and $200. This positions it between the $99.99 Air and the $399.99 Watch, with the Charge 6 currently retailing at $159.95.
