  "account": "The Google Pixel Watch 5 is a smartwatch that excels in tracking sleep, stress, readiness, and exercise. However, its thick and round design may not be everyone's preference. The new Fitbit Edge aims to address this issue by offering a slimmer design while maintaining many of the features found in the Pixel Watch 5. The Edge is 11.5 mm thick, thinner than the Pixel Watch but still not as thin as some competitors. Its screen is a hybrid OLED with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, and it syncs with your phone for notifications. The Edge has a side button for activating workouts and selecting information. Sleep tracking is improved by 15% compared to other models. The Edge will cost $20 more than its competitors, with the main upgrades being improved sleep tracking accuracy and repairability.",
