GoKawiilGoogle launches $180 Fitbit Edge fitness tracker with replaceable battery
Google announced the Fitbit Edge on Monday, a screen-equipped fitness tracker priced at $180 that succeeds the three-year-old Charge 6. It features a 1.34-inch display, a user-replaceable battery, an altimeter, and a far-field skin temperature sensor, and works with both Android and iPhone via the Google Health app. Preorders are open now, with sales starting October 27.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The user-replaceable battery marks a first for Fitbit and could reflect Google's broader push toward repairable wearables, possibly anticipating upcoming EU battery regulations. By offering Pixel Watch-like sensors at a lower price and in a cross-platform device, Google may be positioning the Edge to capture fitness-focused users who don't want a full smartwatch or an Apple-exclusive ecosystem.
- Fitbit Edge costs $180 and goes on sale October 27 after Monday's announcement
- It's the first Fitbit with a user-replaceable battery and includes an altimeter and skin temperature sensor
- Works with both Android and iOS through the Google Health app, unlike the Pixel Watch
