Google’s next Fitbit could give you a screen without smartwatch baggage
The Edge is coming
Google is preparing to launch a new wearable device called the Fitbit Edge. It will sit between the Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch in terms of features and functionality. The Fitbit Edge will have a screen, but it will not run on Wear OS, according to Android Police.
The device is expected to have a small screen and support for a limited set of apps, including Google Maps and YouTube Music, as reported by Android Authority. It will also feature up to seven days of battery life, GPS, an altimeter, and support for displaying notifications.
The Fitbit Edge's design appears to be similar to the Fitbit Charge 6, with a bulbous screen and a sensor stack similar to the Fitbit Air, as reported by 9to5Google. The device will be available in several colors, including Canyon, Obsidian, and Olive. Its specs will include Bluetooth connectivity, notifications, and support for Android and iOS devices.
