  "summary": "The Fitbit Edge is a new wearable priced at $179 that serves as a successor to the 2023 Fitbit Charge 6, according to Tom's Guide. The device includes several health and safety features borrowed from the Pixel Watch 5, such as Loss of Pulse Detection, Breathing Emergency Alerts, and monthly reports regarding blood pressure and insulin resistance trends. It also provides continuous heart rate and body temperature monitoring, sleep and readiness scores, blood oxygen saturation, ECG readings, and heart rate variability insights.\n\nAdditional capabilities include breathing rate and quality tracking, as well as support for Google’s AI-powered Health Coach for nutrition insights and personalized training plans. Android Authority notes that the Edge is loaded with features like skin temperature measurements and ECG readings, though the reviewer stated that the device lacks one specific smartwatch feature they value that is unrelated to fitness or health.",
