Google Fitbit Edge unveiled, reinventing the old pebble-style Fitbit

Google has unveiled the Google Fitbit Edge, a new fitness tracker that redefines the traditional pebble-style Fitbits. Weighing in at 11.5mm thin and priced at $179.99 / £159.99 (around AU$300), this device boasts the largest and brightest screen yet among Fitbits. Sporting a side button for its users' preference, the Google Fitbit Edge stands between the simplicity of the Google Fitbit Air and the advanced features of the Google Pixel Watch.

Available in a week-long battery life with a 90-minute charge to full power, the device is engineered for durability with a replaceable battery. It also features onboard GPS, menstrual cycle tracking, sleep tracking, and access to Google Health tools like the AI fitness coach. The device supports call and notification management, Google Maps for navigation, and a range of exercise tracking capabilities.

With its emphasis on tactile feedback, repairability, and affordability, the Google Fitbit Edge aims to bridge the gap between basic fitness tracking and advanced smartwatch functionalities, offering users a unique middle-ground experience.
