Google Fitbit Edge: Price, Specs, and What's New

Google's new Fitbit gets a screen, GPS, and a Gemini coach

Google launched the Google Fitbit Edge on October 12, 2026, and pre-orders are open now on the Google Store starting at $179.99 (or $15 a month over 12 months). It goes on sale on October 27 in 20 countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, and most of Western Europe. It is the successor to the Fitbit Charge line and slots between the screenless Fitbit Air ($99.99) and the Pixel Watch.

The headline pitch is coaching. The Edge pairs with the Google Health app, and a Google Health Premium membership unlocks Google Health Coach, a personal trainer built with Gemini that plans workouts, explains your sleep, and flags health changes.

Design and display

The Edge uses a slim, pill-shaped case made from 100% recycled aluminum. It weighs 17.7 g without the band and measures 39.22 x 25.56 x 11.58 mm. The screen is a 1.34-inch always-on AMOLED panel with adjustable brightness and a single mechanical side button.

Google says the display is 45% bigger and over 40% brighter than on previous Fitbit devices, and it ships with 10 new clock faces, from sporty data-heavy layouts to analog designs. It is rated 5 ATM and IP68, so swimming and showers are fine.

There are five case and band combinations:

Every box includes both small (130-170 mm) and large (170-210 mm) Active Bands, plus a USB-C fast-charging cable.

Stephen Curry Special Edition

Google developed the Edge with four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry, and there is a Special Edition with a textile band made from recycled polyester yarns, a water-repellent coating, stainless steel lugs, and a raised inner print for airflow. It costs $219.99, $40 more than the standard model, and comes in S/M and M/L sizes. Curry already had a Special Edition of the Fitbit Air earlier this year.

Fitness tracking

The Edge finally brings built-in GPS (with Galileo) back to a Fitbit tracker, plus an altimeter for elevation and floors. That means you can leave the phone at home on a run or hike and still get an accurate route map.

• 40+ exercise modes with automatic workout recognition
• Live in-workout metrics on the wrist, with real-time coaching cues (push, ease up, hold pace)
• Cardio Load, Readiness, VO2 Max, Active Zone Minutes
• Post-workout summary on the tracker
• Live heart rate on gym equipment

Health and sleep features

Sensors include an optical heart rate sensor, red and infrared SpO2 sensors, a skin temperature sensor, and multipurpose electrical sensors for the ECG app. Here is what they power:

• ECG app and AFib detection (select countries, not for people under 22)
• Irregular rhythm alerts plus high and low heart rate notifications
• SpO2, heart rate variability, breathing rate, skin temperature variation, and resting heart rate
• On-wrist menstrual cycle and symptom tracking
• Advanced sleep tracking with sleep stages and a Sleep Score

With Premium, Google also adds monthly blood pressure trends and insulin resistance trends under its Health Guardian features. Google is clear these are wellness estimates, not a substitute for a blood pressure cuff or a diabetes test.

Battery and repair

Google rates the 65 mAh battery at up to 7 days. A full charge takes about 90 minutes, and 5 minutes on the charger gives up to a day of use. Using GPS continuously drains it faster.

The Edge is also the first Fitbit built with repair in mind: the battery is user-replaceable. The battery cell uses 100% recycled cobalt and, for the first time, 100% recycled lithium, and the packaging is plastic-free.

Fitbit Edge vs Fitbit Air: what the Edge adds

The Fitbit Air is Google's $99.99 screenless band, which only tracks and sends everything to your phone. For $80 more, the Edge adds a lot:

Both share heart rate, SpO2, skin temperature, sleep tracking, and Gemini coaching through the Google Health app. Battery life is the same on paper.

Pick the Air if you want something nearly invisible (5.2 g) for 24/7 tracking and sleep, and you always carry your phone. Pick the Edge if you want to see your stats, run without your phone, check heart rhythm with ECG, or get notifications on your wrist.

Fitbit Edge vs Charge 6

Google lists the key upgrades over the Charge 6 as a bigger and brighter display, a redesigned interface with 10 new clock faces, the new altimeter, on-wrist cycle tracking, and the replaceable battery.

Google Health Premium and coaching

The Gemini coach is the part that costs extra. Google Health Premium is $9.99 a month, and buying the Edge gets you three months free. Premium includes:

• A 24/7 health coach you can ask questions
• Adaptive weekly fitness plans
• Detailed sleep insights and daily guidance
• Blood pressure and insulin resistance trends
• Meal logging by photo or chat, with continuous glucose monitor (CGM) support
• Summaries of your medical records and lab reports
• A library of video workouts and mindfulness sessions

Without Premium, you still get all the tracking, sleep stages, heart alerts, and the health metrics dashboard.

Release date and countries

Pre-orders are open now, and the Fitbit Edge goes on sale on October 27, 2026. Google lists these 20 launch countries:

India is not on the list. The Fitbit Air is sold in India, but the Edge is not launching there for now, and Google has not shared a date.

According to Android Headlines, the Stephen Curry Special Edition launches in 16 of those countries, skipping Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and Singapore.

Compatibility

The Fitbit Edge works with Android 11 or newer and iOS 16.4 or newer, and needs a Google Account and the Google Health app. You must be 13 or older to use it and 18 or older for Premium. The US Google Store offers trade-in credit for an old watch or tracker.
