Google appears to be preparing a new Fitbit fitness tracker, and the latest leaks have revealed almost everything about the device before an official announcement.

The device, reportedly called the Fitbit Edge, is expected to sit between Google’s screen-free Fitbit Air and its more expensive Pixel Watch lineup. New leaked retail information has now revealed a reported European price of €179 and a UK price of £159, alongside a much more detailed list of specifications and health features.

Google has not officially announced the Fitbit Edge, so the pricing, specifications, features and launch timing should still be treated as leaked information rather than confirmed product specifications.

A Fitbit With a Proper Display

Unlike the Fitbit Air, which deliberately removes the screen to focus on passive health and fitness tracking, the Fitbit Edge is expected to bring a display back to the experience.

The leaked specification sheet describes a 1.34-inch AMOLED touchscreen with an always-on display mode. The device is reportedly housed in an aluminium body weighing approximately 17.7 grams, making it considerably smaller and lighter than a conventional smartwatch.

Leaked images show an elongated, rounded display with physical controls on either side. The design appears to borrow elements from the Fitbit Charge family while adopting some of the visual language seen across Google's recent Pixel products.

The leaked colour options reportedly include Obsidian, Olive, Canyon and Fog, paired with different finishes and strap colours.

Up to Seven Days of Battery Life

Battery life could be one of the Edge's biggest advantages over a traditional smartwatch.

The leaked specifications suggest the tracker could deliver up to seven days of battery life, although activating the always-on display could reduce that figure to around two days.

More unusually, the device is reportedly expected to feature a user-replaceable battery. If accurate, that could make the Edge particularly interesting for people who want a wearable they can keep using for longer rather than replacing the entire device when battery health deteriorates.

The device is also reportedly rated at 5 ATM and IP68, giving it protection against water exposure and dust under the conditions covered by those ratings.

More Than Steps and Heart Rate

The Fitbit Edge appears designed to offer a much broader health-tracking package than a basic fitness band.

According to the leaked specifications, the tracker could include:

  • Built-in GPS

  • ECG functionality

  • Atrial fibrillation detection

  • Blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring

  • Skin-temperature sensing

  • An altimeter for elevation tracking

  • Automatic activity recognition

  • More than 40 exercise modes

  • Step, distance and calorie tracking

  • Sleep monitoring

  • Menstrual-cycle tracking

  • Cardiac-load information

  • Blood-pressure trend tracking

  • Insulin-resistance trend tracking

Some of these features, particularly the blood-pressure and insulin-resistance trends, should be treated cautiously until Google confirms exactly how they work and whether they will be available in every market.

The reported ECG capability could also make the Edge more sophisticated than the typical fitness band, particularly because the leaked design appears to include metal contact areas on its sides that may be used for electrical measurements.

Gemini Could Become Part of the Fitness Experience

Perhaps the most interesting part of the leak is Google's reported use of Gemini-powered coaching.

The Fitbit Edge is said to offer personalised fitness programmes and real-time coaching, potentially including an “Ask Coach” experience.

That would push Fitbit further toward the growing trend of AI-powered fitness assistants, where wearables don't simply record activity but attempt to interpret the data and provide personalised guidance.

It could mean the Edge becomes less about simply telling users how many steps they have taken and more about helping them understand their training, recovery and fitness progress.

However, some advanced health features may reportedly sit behind an optional Google Health Premium subscription, meaning the headline specification list may not necessarily represent everything available without additional payment.

It Could Also Handle Basic Smartwatch Tasks

The Fitbit Edge is not expected to become a full Pixel Watch replacement.

Instead, leaked information points to a limited selection of smartwatch-style features.

The tracker could display smartphone notifications and offer access to selected Google services, including Google Maps, media and music controls, and Find My Phone.

Importantly, the device is reportedly compatible with both Android and iOS.

That could give it a wider potential audience than the Pixel Watch, which is designed around the Android ecosystem.

Where the Fitbit Edge Fits

Google's current wearable strategy appears to have a significant gap between its inexpensive, screen-free Fitbit Air and its much more capable Pixel Watch range.

The Fitbit Edge could be Google's attempt to fill that gap.

The Fitbit Air launched at around $99, while the Pixel Watch sits considerably higher in the market. The Edge, with a reported European price of €179, would occupy a middle position for consumers who want a screen, GPS, notifications and advanced fitness tracking without paying for a complete smartwatch.

It could also effectively revive the role previously occupied by the Fitbit Charge line. The Charge 6 launched in 2023, making a new screen-equipped Fitbit tracker a notable return to a category Google has not refreshed recently.

The Price Could Make or Break It

At €179 in Europe and £159 in the UK, the Fitbit Edge would reportedly cost more than the Fitbit Air while remaining below Google's flagship smartwatch products.

That pricing puts the Edge in a crowded fitness-tracker market where competitors already offer AMOLED displays, GPS, health tracking and long battery life.

Google's advantage would therefore have to come from the combination of Fitbit's health platform, Google's software ecosystem and the reported Gemini-powered coaching.

The question is whether consumers will see enough value in those features to justify moving up from a cheaper fitness band — or whether they would rather spend more and buy a full smartwatch.

Google Has Yet to Confirm the Device

Despite the amount of information now circulating, Google has not officially announced the Fitbit Edge.

The latest information comes from leaked retail materials and reporting from outlets including Android Headlines, Dealabs, 9to5Google and Android Authority. Earlier leaks had already shown the device's design and suggested GPS, notifications, limited app support and up to seven days of battery life.

That means specifications, pricing, colours and availability could still change before launch.

But if the leaks are accurate, the Fitbit Edge could represent an important shift in Google's Fitbit strategy: a fitness-focused wearable that keeps the long battery life and compact design of a tracker while adding just enough smart functionality to compete with entry-level smartwatches.

The interesting part of the Fitbit Edge is not simply that Fitbit is putting a screen back on a fitness tracker.

It's where Google appears to be positioning the product.

The Edge could target people who don't need a full smartwatch but still want GPS, notifications, health sensors, music controls and an AI fitness coach — without charging the device every night.

The reported Gemini integration could ultimately be the biggest differentiator. If Google can turn years of Fitbit health and activity data into genuinely useful, personalised coaching, the Edge could become more than another fitness band with a colourful screen.

But Google's pricing will put it directly against a large number of capable fitness trackers.

The real test will be whether Google's software and AI ecosystem can make the Edge feel meaningfully smarter — rather than simply more expensive.
