I just spent 24 hours with the Fitbit Edge — 3 reasons why I’m already impressed

The Fitbit Edge, a successor to the 2023 Fitbit Charge 6, has impressed reviewers in just over 24 hours of wear. The device incorporates several health features from the Pixel Watch 5, including Loss of Pulse Detection, Breathing Emergency Alerts, and monthly insulin resistance/blood pressure trend reports, all at a more affordable price point of $179.

These features, along with continuous heart rate and body temperature monitoring, dynamic sleep and readiness scores, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and ECG readings, heart rate variability insights, and breathing rate/quality tracking, are enhanced by Google Health Premium subscription. The Edge is also praised for its comfort, with a slightly larger case than its predecessor, yet maintaining a similar feel on the wrist.

Additionally, the device features physical buttons instead of the haptic buttons found on the Charge 6, a welcome improvement for those who prefer tangible interaction.
