Google Fitbit Edge Fitness Tracker Leaked with Oval Display and GPS
Google is reportedly preparing to launch the Fitbit Edge, a new fitness tracker that falls between the basic Fitbit Air and the feature-rich Pixel Watch 5. Leaked images and details reveal a distinctive oval display, GPS, and an altimeter, but with a limited app selection and no Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity. The device is expected to offer up to seven days of battery life and will come in three colors: Obsidian (black), Olive (green), and Canyon (orange with gold accents). Pricing is estimated between $149 and $199, with an anticipated release in October 2026, though these details remain unconfirmed.
The Fitbit Edge breaks away from the rectangular design of previous Fitbit trackers, opting for an oval, edge-to-edge color display. It includes essential fitness tracking features like automatic activity recognition and a quick-release mechanism for wristbands. The device supports both Android and iOS, but its app ecosystem is deliberately minimal, focusing on Google Maps, YouTube Music, and smartphone search functions.
Some confusion surrounds the device's name, as it was previously rumored to be called the Fitbit Charge 7. However, recent leaks and an FCC filing under model number G8BL6 confirm the name as Fitbit Edge. The tracker aims to fill a gap between screenless fitness trackers and full-fledged smartwatches, offering a balance of features for users who want basic smart functions without the complexity of a smartwatch.
