Somewhere between the wrist and the cloud, Google is quietly assembling its next chapter in personal health technology. A leaked set of specifications and pricing reveals that the Fitbit Edge — heir apparent to the Charge 6 — will arrive in Europe at €179 and in the UK at £159, carrying with it a suite of sensors, an AMOLED display, and the guiding hand of Gemini AI. The device has not yet been officially announced, but its contours are now clear enough to see: a small, coordinated piece of a larger ecosystem Google is building around the body and its data.
Fitbit Edge specs leak: €179 fitness tracker with AMOLED display, Gemini coaching
A fitness tracker built for serious health monitoring at a lower price point
Mark
So Google is making another fitness tracker. Why does this matter when they already have the Pixel Watch?
Mimi
The Pixel Watch is a full smartwatch—expensive, feature-rich, runs Wear OS. The Fitbit Edge is a dedicated fitness tracker at a much lower price point. It's aimed at people who want serious health monitoring without the full smartwatch experience.
Luke
Right, but we should note the €179 price is a leak, not an official announcement. We don't know if that's the final price or if it varies by retailer.
Mark
What makes the health sensors on this different from what's already out there?
Mimi
The ECG and atrial fibrillation detection are the standouts. Most fitness trackers at this price don't include those. Combined with SpO2 monitoring and skin temperature tracking, you're getting a fairly complete picture of your cardiovascular health.
Luke
Though we should be careful here—ECG detection of AFib is useful, but it's not a replacement for medical diagnosis. The device can flag something, but a doctor still needs to confirm it.
Mark
The Gemini coaching angle is interesting. What does that actually mean in practice?
Mimi
Google hasn't detailed exactly how Gemini will work on the device, but presumably it means the AI can analyze your activity patterns and offer personalized suggestions—maybe recommending rest days, suggesting new exercises, that kind of thing.
Luke
That's speculation on our part. The leak just says "personalized coaching with Gemini." We don't actually know what the feature does or how sophisticated it is.
Mark
And the battery life—seven days sounds good, but two days with always-on display is pretty short.
Mimi
It's a trade-off. The always-on display is convenient, but it drains the battery fast. Most people will probably turn it off and get the full week.
O Pulso
- Google's own promotional materials accidentally exposed the Fitbit Edge back in August, and a new leak has now filled in the remaining details before any official word from the company.
- Priced at €179 in the EU and £159 in the UK, the Edge enters a competitive mid-range fitness tracker market where every euro and feature counts.
- The device packs a serious health arsenal — ECG, SpO2, VO2 max, sleep tracking, AFib detection, and 40+ exercise modes — into a body weighing just 17.7 grams.
- Gemini AI integration promises personalized coaching, signaling Google's intent to move fitness tracking from passive data collection toward active, intelligent guidance.
- With color options mirroring the Pixel Watch 5 and no confirmed launch date, the Edge sits in a curious limbo — fully formed in the leak, but officially unborn.
Somewhere between the wrist and the cloud, Google is quietly assembling its next chapter in personal health technology. A leaked set of specifications and pricing reveals that the Fitbit Edge — heir apparent to the Charge 6 — will arrive in Europe at €179 and in the UK at £159, carrying with it a suite of sensors, an AMOLED display, and the guiding hand of Gemini AI. The device has not yet been officially announced, but its contours are now clear enough to see: a small, coordinated piece of a larger ecosystem Google is building around the body and its data.
Google has been developing a new fitness tracker called the Fitbit Edge, and while the company hasn't made any formal announcement, the details have largely surfaced on their own. An accidental appearance in Google's own promotional materials last August started the conversation, and a more recent leak has now filled in the pricing, design, and full feature set.
In the EU, the Edge will sell for €179; in the UK, £159. It will come in four colors — Obsidian & Matte Black, Olive & Satin Pyrite, Canyon & Champagne Gold, and Fog & Polished Silver — the same palette used for the Pixel Watch 5, hinting at a deliberate ecosystem strategy.
The hardware is compact and capable. At 39.22mm tall and weighing just 17.7 grams, it centers on a 1.34-inch AMOLED display and connects via Bluetooth 5.4 with built-in GPS. Battery life reaches seven days under normal use, though always-on display mode cuts that to two.
Health tracking is where the Edge makes its case. It monitors heart rate, blood oxygen, skin temperature, sleep, and menstrual cycles. ECG sensors can detect irregular heartbeats and atrial fibrillation. VO2 max estimation, step counting, calorie tracking, and more than 40 exercise modes round out the picture, with automatic workout detection built in. The device is rated 5ATM and IP68 — swim-ready, if not dive-ready.
Google is also weaving its Gemini AI into the experience, offering coaching shaped by the user's own health data. The Edge appears positioned to succeed the Fitbit Charge 6, though when it will officially arrive in stores remains, for now, Google's secret to keep.
Google has been quietly developing a new fitness tracker called the Fitbit Edge, and the details are starting to surface. The company itself accidentally revealed the device in promotional materials back in August, and now a fresh leak has filled in the blanks on pricing, design, and capabilities.
In the European Union, the Fitbit Edge will sell for €179. In the UK, the price drops to £159. The device will come in four color options—Obsidian & Matte Black, Olive & Satin Pyrite, Canyon & Champagne Gold, and Fog & Polished Silver—the same palette Google used for its Pixel Watch 5. This color strategy suggests the company is thinking of these devices as part of a coordinated ecosystem.
The tracker itself is a modest piece of hardware. It measures 39.22mm tall, 25.56mm wide, and 11.58mm thick, weighing just 17.7 grams. At its center sits a 1.34-inch AMOLED display, which should deliver sharp visuals and deep blacks. The device connects via Bluetooth 5.4 and includes GPS for tracking outdoor activities. A full charge takes about two hours, and Google claims the battery will last seven days under normal use—though that figure drops to two days if you keep the display always on.
The health-tracking capabilities are comprehensive. The Edge monitors your heart rate, blood oxygen levels, skin temperature, and sleep patterns. It can detect irregular heartbeats and atrial fibrillation through its ECG sensors. It measures your VO2 max and estimates your overall fitness level. It tracks steps, distance, calories burned, and can monitor your menstrual cycle. The device houses an accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, and ambient light sensor to support these functions. For exercise, it offers more than 40 built-in activity modes and can automatically detect when you start working out.
Google is integrating its Gemini AI assistant into the Fitbit Edge, offering personalized coaching based on your activity and health data. The tracker is rated 5ATM and IP68, meaning it can handle dust and water immersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes—suitable for swimming and snorkeling but not diving.
The timing of an official announcement remains unclear, though the pricing and feature set suggest the Edge is positioned to replace the Fitbit Charge 6 in Google's lineup. The leak has given us a complete picture of what's coming, but Google hasn't yet confirmed when the device will actually reach stores.
