Leaked images show Google's mid-range Fitbit Edge fitness tracker
In short
Leaked images of a mid-range Fitbit tracker called the Fitbit Edge have surfaced via Android Headlines, with The Verge and Engadget both reporting them. The reports say the device appears to succeed the Fitbit Charge line and could offer seven-day battery life, built-in GPS, an altimeter and limited app support for services such as Google Maps and YouTube Music. Neither report gives a confirmed price or release date; one says it could arrive for the holiday 2026 season.
Why it matters
The reported device would fill a gap in Google's fitness lineup between the $100 Fitbit Air and the $400 Pixel Watch, a segment the Charge line has not covered since its last update in 2023, according to The Verge. Engadget's report that the tracker would also run on iOS, unlike the Android-only Pixel Watch, would put it in front of a wider set of buyers if it launches as described. Both outlets stress that nothing has been confirmed by Google.
