The corporate has primarily confirmed it is releasing one other health tracker.
Previous leaked images revealed the title and design of Google’s rumored “Fitbit Edge” health tracker and now the corporate has primarily confirmed each in new posts on Instagram and X. The wearable is rumored to suit between the screenless Fitbit Air Google launched earlier this 12 months and the extra premium Pixel Watch 5.
Google’s posts embrace a picture of what seems to be a aspect button on the brand new wearable, and the next caption: “Get an Edge in your well being. 10.12.26.” The selection to capitalize “Edge” appears to substantiate the title of the wearable, and October 12 is probably going the day Google plans to disclose it.

Photos of this new Fitbit gadget have been kicking round since no less than August, when 9to5Google noticed an unnamed health tracker in a few of Google’s Pixel 11 advertising and marketing. However the title of the wearable wasn’t revealed till Android Headlines shared pictures of the Fitbit Edge and particulars of its built-in apps and well being monitoring options earlier this week. These particulars have been additional fleshed out in a report from French journal Dealabs, which confirmed the gadget’s design and title, and included extra data on its battery life and potential value. 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. However 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 every little thing reporting has described it to be, the Fitbit Edge looks like a pure step up from the Fitbit Air, and one other solution to push folks to a Google Health Premium subscription. We’ll simply have to attend till October 12 to see if Google follows via.
