  "account": "The Fitbit Edge is a stylish and feature-packed fitness tracker from Google, but despite its many advantages, the display proved to be a dealbreaker for the author. After discovering the joys of simpler wearable devices like the Fitbit Air, the author decided to return to a more streamlined option. The author found that the Edge's display, while beautiful, offered little in terms of functionality and presented issues such as battery drain and nighttime glare. The author concluded that for their needs, a simple tracker like the Air was more valuable, as the constant notifications and display distractions were unnecessary. Ultimately, the author learned that they didn't need a display to track their health data, and the simplicity of the Air was more appealing in today's world of constant distractions.",
  "summary": "The Fitbit Edge should be the sort of wearable I keep using long after I'm done reviewing it. But instead, I went straight back to the Fitbit Air.",
