  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "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.",
