Google has expanded its Fitbit lineup with the Fitbit Edge, a fitness tracker designed for users who want advanced health monitoring and smartwatch features in a compact form factor.

The Fitbit Edge starts at $179.99 (approximately Rs. 17,200) and is available for pre-order through the Google Store and authorised retail partners. Open sales are scheduled to begin on October 27.

Both small and large silicone Active Bands are included in the box.

Google has also introduced the Fitbit Edge Stephen Curry Special Edition, priced at $219.99 (approximately Rs. 21,000). It features a Satin Pyrite Aluminium case and a water-resistant recycled polyester band with signature colour accents.

Google has not announced India-specific pricing or availability in the provided launch details.

Fitbit Edge Specifications and Features

The Fitbit Edge features a 1.34-inch AMOLED display with always-on functionality. Google claims the screen offers 46 percent more viewing area than previous-generation Fitbit trackers. A physical side button lets users control functions such as pausing and resuming workouts without relying entirely on touchscreen input.

The wearable is powered by an Ambiq AP5 microcontroller and includes 64MB of NOR flash storage. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 5.4, built-in GPS and Galileo satellite positioning, allowing users to track outdoor activities without carrying a connected smartphone.

For fitness tracking, the Fitbit Edge supports more than 40 sport modes, automatic activity recognition and an altimeter for measuring elevation changes. It also tracks Cardio Load, Daily Readiness, VO2 Max, Active Zone Minutes and heart rate.

Health monitoring features include optical heart rate tracking, an ECG sensor, blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring, skin temperature tracking, an accelerometer, a gyroscope and an ambient light sensor. The ECG app supports on-demand electrocardiograms to check for signs of atrial fibrillation. The tracker also offers irregular heart rhythm notifications, sleep-stage analysis and heart rate variability monitoring.

Google claims the Fitbit Edge delivers up to seven days of battery life from its replaceable 65mAh lithium-ion battery. A full charge takes up to 90 minutes, while a five-minute charge can provide up to 24 hours of use, depending on usage.

The tracker carries 5 ATM and IP68 ratings for water and dust resistance, with support for swimming at depths of up to 50 metres. Smart features include smartphone notifications, quick text replies on compatible platforms, media controls, alarms, timers and basic Google Maps guidance.
