  "account": "Google is slowly modernizing its Fitbit lineup, beginning with the screenless Fitbit Air introduced earlier this year. Recent leaks have unveiled an upcoming device with a small display, known as the Fitbit Edge. Google has now officially released preliminary images of the Edge, hinting at news scheduled for next Monday.\n\nWearable devices are not a one-size-fits-all solution, as evidenced by the rise of screenless trackers, such as this year's Fitbit Air. If these are too simplistic for you but you don't require the complexity and performance compromises of a full-fledged smartwatch, a basic screen-equipped tracker may be the perfect fit. Recently, there have been rumors about a potential new model, the Fitbit Edge, and today we can now view an official teaser. Leaks have already provided us with a detailed glimpse of the Fitbit Edge, covering aspects like color options, connectivity, and battery life. It appears a launch is now all but certain.\n\nGoogle is putting an end to any remaining uncertainty.",
