Images of this new Fitbit machine have been kicking round since not less than August, when 9to5Google noticed an unnamed health tracker in a few of Google’s Pixel 11 advertising and marketing. But the identify of the wearable wasn’t revealed till Android Headlines shared photographs of the Fitbit Edge and particulars of its built-in apps and well being monitoring options earlier this week. Those particulars have been additional fleshed out in a report from French journal Dealabs, which confirmed the machine’s design and identify, and included further data on its battery life and attainable worth. The Edge will reportedly final for as much as seven days on a cost if its always-on show is disabled, and two days if it is on, and will value €179 (about $200) when it goes on sale in Europe. But contemplating the Fitbit Air begins at $99 within the US and €99 in Europe, the brand new tracker may wind up being nearer to $180 within the US.
The final similarly-sized health tracker Google launched was the Fitbit Charge 6 in 2023, so the corporate is due for a brand new launch. If it is all the pieces reporting has described it to be, the Fitbit Edge looks as if a pure step up from the Fitbit Air, and one other technique to push individuals to a Google Health Premium subscription. We’ll simply have to attend till October 12 to see if Google follows by way of.
