Google has officially acknowledged the Fitbit Edge. The company posted a teaser on X and Instagram with the line “Get an Edge on your health” and a launch date of October 12, which is a Monday. Until now, everything we knew about the tracker came from leaks.
What Google has confirmed
According to 9to5Google, the teaser image appears to show the display seen in earlier leaks. The “Canyon” color scheme from the Pixel Watch 5 carries over, and the site says the Edge has a metal chassis. The name slots the Edge into Fitbit’s hardware lineup right after the screenless Fitbit Air.
Beyond the date, there are no official specs, price, or availability details yet. Everything below is leaked and could change on launch day.
What the leaks say
GSMArena rounded up the rumored specs:
- 1.34-inch AMOLED screen
- about 7 days of battery, dropping to roughly 2 days with the always-on display
- Bluetooth 5.4 and GPS
- heart rate and skin temperature sensors
- 40 built-in exercise modes
- 5ATM and IP68 water resistance
- personalized coaching from Gemini, Google’s AI assistant (whose free tier just changed)
- detection of atrial fibrillation and irregular heart rhythms, plus a VO2 max estimate
Leaked dimensions are 39.22 mm tall, 25.56 mm wide, 11.58 mm thick, and 17.7 g. The rumored colors are Obsidian and Matte Black, Olive and Satin Pyrite, Canyon and Champagne Gold, and Fog and Polished Silver. 9to5Google also mentions iPhone support, apps, and notifications.
How much will it cost?
9to5Google puts the price at around $180. That is above the Fitbit Air and well below the $400 starting price of the Pixel Watch 5. GSMArena cites rumored prices of 179 euros in the Eurozone and 159 pounds in the UK. Google has not confirmed any of it.
Background
We covered the earlier leaks in our story on the Fitbit Edge leak with a 7-day battery. What changed is that the launch is no longer a rumor, because there is now an official date. What remains is for Google to confirm the price and where it will sell. If the leaks hold, the Edge would sit between a screenless band and a full smartwatch: a small screen, GPS, health sensors and a week of battery, at a price well under what Google charges for its own watch.
Launch day should settle the open questions. Until then, treat the specs and prices above as rumors, not facts, and check the official listing before you decide.
