TL;DR

Leaked images of the Fitbit Edge, a successor to the Charge 6, show a domed display, built-in GPS, and an altimeter. The device is expected to offer up to seven days of battery life and support for Google Maps and YouTube Music, positioning it between the Fitbit Air and Pixel Watch 5.

Key points

  • The Fitbit Edge features a domed screen for notifications, directions, and media controls.
  • It includes built-in GPS and an altimeter for elevation tracking.
  • Battery life is expected to last up to seven days.
  • The device will support Android and iOS via Bluetooth.
  • It is positioned between the $100 Fitbit Air and $400 Pixel Watch 5.

Background

The Fitbit Charge 6 was released in 2023 and has not had a direct successor. The Fitbit Air, released more recently, lacks a screen. The Edge fills the gap as a midrange tracker with a display.

How outlets are covering it

Notebookcheck highlights the domed display and metal strips that may support ECG readings, though unconfirmed. The Verge emphasizes the Edge's role as a midrange successor to the Charge line, noting its limited app support. Engadget points out color options matching Pixel 11 smartphones, such as Rose Peach and Olive, and suggests a holiday 2026 release.

Why it matters

The Fitbit Edge addresses the lack of a midrange Fitbit tracker with a display since 2023, offering GPS and longer battery life than the Fitbit Air while remaining more affordable than the Pixel Watch 5.

What to watch

Google is expected to announce the Fitbit Edge, potentially in time for the 2026 holiday season. Pricing is estimated between $150 and $200.
