Fitbit Edge Set for October Launch with OLED Display

Following the recent release of the display-less Fitbit Air, Google is gearing up to launch its next fitness tracker: the Fitbit Edge. According to leaked product page details, the Fitbit Edge is intended to slot into Google’s wearable lineup between the Fitbit Air and the higher-end Pixel Watch 5.

Key Features of the Fitbit Edge

The most significant upgrade offered by the Fitbit Edge is the addition of an oval-shaped display, reportedly using an AMOLED panel. This display will provide users with at-a-glance information, including app notifications and call alerts. Beyond the screen, the Fitbit Edge will offer a range of features, including:

  • Google Maps access
  • Music controls for YouTube Music
  • A “Find My Phone” feature
  • Integrated GPS
  • 24/7 heart rate monitoring
  • SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) monitoring
  • Skin temperature monitoring

The device will also support Bluetooth connectivity and is expected to offer a battery life of up to 7 days, according to leaks.

Pricing and Availability

Leaks suggest the Google Fitbit Edge will be priced between $149 and $199, which translates to approximately Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,000 in India. Google is expected to launch the Fitbit Edge by the end of October 2026, in time for the Diwali festival in November. According to insider information received by TelecomTalk, the Fitbit Edge could include a Google Health Premium membership of between 3 and 6 months.

Fitbit Air vs. Fitbit Edge

The Fitbit Air, launched at Rs 13,999, focuses on core health and fitness tracking without a display. The Fitbit Edge builds on this foundation by adding a display and smart features, offering a more versatile experience. The source article suggests that the added functionality of the Edge may be worth waiting for, given the price difference.
