Google Unveils Fitbit Edge Fitness Tracker With Up to a Week of Battery Life
Google has added the new Fitbit Edge fitness tracker to its Fitbit product family. Featuring an AMOLED display, built-in GPS, and a wide range of sensors, the device is designed to track workouts, measure daily physical activity, and monitor health metrics. One of its most notable features is its ability to run for up to a week without recharging.
The Fitbit Edge features a 1.34-inch AMOLED display. Protected by Gorilla Glass 3, the display is 46% larger than that of the Fitbit Charge 6. The aluminum case is 11.5 mm thick. The device is protected against dust and water in accordance with IP68 and 5 ATM standards.
According to Google, the updated design improves GPS positioning accuracy by 40%. A separate altimeter is also included for measuring elevation. The tracker can be controlled using a large side button.
The Fitbit Edge is equipped with a heart rate sensor, an ECG function, a blood oxygen sensor, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a skin temperature sensor. The device tracks more than 50 types of workouts, can automatically recognize more than 100 physical activities, and supports connections to exercise equipment to transmit heart rate data. Over time, artificial intelligence adapts to the user's habits to help provide a more personalized experience. In addition, the tracker displays notifications, controls music in various apps, and supports timer and alarm functions. It also provides navigation directions through Google Maps.
The Fitbit Edge is compatible with both Android and iOS smartphones. However, replying to messages directly from the tracker is possible only on Android devices. Because it lacks an NFC module, contactless payments are not supported.
The Fitbit Edge can run for up to 7 days on a single charge when the display is not always on. When the Always-On Display feature is enabled, battery life drops to approximately 2 days. Fast charging is also supported: just 5 minutes of charging provides enough power for about one day of use. A full battery charge takes 90 minutes.
The Fitbit Edge is priced at $179.99. The tracker is already available for preorder from the Google Store and will go on sale on October 27.
Additional bands are priced as follows:
- Silicone sport band — $39.99
- Magnetic band — $59.99
- Metal bracelet — $149.99
In addition, a special Stephen Curry Special Edition version associated with basketball star Stephen Curry will be released for $219.99.
