Google Unveils Fitbit Edge With a Week of Battery Life and Built-In GPS for $180

Google has unveiled the Fitbit Edge fitness tracker — a device with an oval 1.34-inch OLED display designed to last a full week without a recharge. The band costs $180 (about 15,000 rubles) and goes on sale October 27.

Fitbit Edge's main selling point is its compact design paired with a high-capacity battery. The device lasts up to seven days on a single charge, and just five minutes of charging is enough for another full day of use. The tracker can recognize up to 100 types of physical activity, including running, cycling, and other workouts. However, voice interaction isn't an option — the device has no microphone or speaker.

Activity Tracking and Health Monitoring

Fitbit Edge continuously measures heart rate, tracks skin temperature, and lets users take an ECG. The band includes built-in GPS, which is now 40% more accurate than in previous Fitbit models. It also features an altimeter — a useful tool for hikers and trekking enthusiasts.

Deeper health monitoring comes courtesy of the Health Guardian feature. It tracks changes in the body's metrics, including blood pressure and insulin resistance, helping users catch potential issues at an early stage.

A Gemini-Powered AI Coach

A personal AI coach is available through a Google Health Premium subscription. The Gemini-based coach analyzes sleep and activity patterns and then delivers personalized recommendations. The subscription costs $10 a month or $100 a year. Fitbit Edge buyers will get three months of the subscription for free.

Colors and Special Editions

Fitbit Edge will launch in four standard colors: black, silver, olive, and gold. Google has also prepared a special Stephen Curry Edition priced at $220. This edition comes with a brown-and-orange band designed in collaboration with basketball star Stephen Curry.

The new device goes on sale October 27. The original $180 price works out to roughly 15,000 rubles at the current exchange rate.
