Why I’m sticking with the Fitbit Air sleep tracker instead of upgrading to the Edge
The new Fitbit Edge pairs powerful sensors with a sleek design and small screen — but when it comes to sleep tracking, the Air has it beat in one key area.
The new Google Fitbit Edge smartwatch aims to be the top sleep tracker for 2026. Pre-ordering starts at $179.99 on Google, making it more affordable than its competitor, the Fitbit Air, which begins at $99.99. The Edge boasts advanced sensors for tracking sleep stages and wake-ups, while the Air's screenless design focuses on comfort.
Despite the Edge's promise of high-powered sensors, I found the Fitbit Air to be the better choice for sleep tracking. Comfort and affordability are key factors, and after testing both, the Air emerged as the stronger pick.
