Fitbit Edge Leak Reveals Google Fitness Tracker with Maps and Notifications

A leaked image of the upcoming Fitbit Edge reveals a Google fitness tracker with a screen, Google Maps, media controls, and phone notifications. The device also promises up to seven days of battery life, though Google has not officially announced it. The leak, reported by Android Headlines and detailed by 9to5Google, includes product renders showing an oval-screen tracker with removable bands.

Key features listed in the leak include Bluetooth connectivity, GPS, an altimeter, automatic activity recognition, and compatibility with both Android and iOS. However, the leak does not confirm Wi-Fi connectivity or an operating system. The device appears to offer basic fitness tracking functions rather than a full smartwatch experience.

The Fitbit Edge seems to fit between the screenless Fitbit Air and more advanced smartwatches. Google last updated the Charge line with the Fitbit Charge 6 in 2023. The leaked materials suggest a potential launch in October, with an estimated price range of $149 to $199 in the US. However, neither the price nor the launch date has been confirmed by Google.

While the leak provides valuable insights, it remains unconfirmed whether the Fitbit Edge will replace the Charge 6 series. The product name and details come from retail materials, and Google has not provided official specifications or announcements.
