Google researchers tested their personal health agent framework against the WEAR-ME study, which collected Fitbit and Pixel Watch data, questionnaires and blood test results from 1,165 participants. From this dataset, the team worked with clinicians to identify the ten most common health profiles and built 50 user personas, five per profile, to run multiple evaluation tasks for the agent across data science, data exploration, health coaching and personalization categories.
Google's Fitbit has introduced the Edge fitness tracker, a $180 device with a 100% recycled aluminum case and a wider AMOLED display than the existing Inspire 3, which costs $99.95 and uses a plastic casing. The Edge comes in four standard colors plus a $220 orange edition endorsed by NBA star Steph Curry, while the Inspire 3 offers three stock color options.
Google's new Fitbit Air fitness tracker, praised for its lightweight design, 7-day battery and subscription-free pricing, carries only a water-resistant rating rather than being fully waterproof. It can withstand sweat and swimming sessions but is not built to be indestructible against water exposure.
Google has outlined how its new Fitbit Edge and Fitbit Air trackers differ beyond screen size. The screenless Air relies on the Google Health app for interaction, while the Edge adds a 1.34-inch AMOLED touchscreen, a side button, ECG support, an altimeter and an ambient light sensor. Both devices are rated for seven days of battery life and carry IP68 and 5ATM water/dust resistance.
Google has launched the Fitbit Edge, a $179 fitness tracker featuring a 1.34-inch OLED display, built-in GPS, ECG support, week-long battery life, and Fitbit's first user-replaceable battery. The device works with both Android and iPhone through the Google Health app, and also adds an altimeter and a far-field skin temperature sensor borrowed from the Pixel Watch. Google Maps turn-by-turn navigation is planned for later this year.
Google introduced the Fitbit Edge, a new wearable priced at $179.99 that slots between the slim Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch, adding an OLED screen for notifications, maps, weather and music controls. The device includes Gemini-powered Google Health Coach and Health Guardian features (requiring a Health Premium subscription), automatic activity recognition for up to 100 activities, over 50 exercise modes, a seven-day battery, and 50-meter water resistance. It's available for preorder now, with retail availability on October 27, in four standard colors plus a $219.99 Stephen Curry Special Edition.
Google has released the Fitbit Edge, its second Fitbit device of 2026, positioned as a successor to the Charge 6 with a Pixel Watch-like design. It features a 1.34-inch OLED touchscreen in an aluminum IP68-rated frame, a single side button, and up to seven days of battery life (two days with always-on display enabled). The device pairs with Android and iPhone via the Google Health app and costs roughly half the price of the Pixel Watch 5.
Google is bringing its Health Guardian feature to the Fitbit Air and new Fitbit Edge for Google Health Premium subscribers later this month, offering monthly summaries of blood pressure and insulin resistance trends plus coaching tips. The company is also upgrading automatic activity tracking across the Fitbit Air, Fitbit Edge and Pixel Watch 3, 4 and 5, nearly doubling accuracy and expanding recognized workout types from 10 to over 100.
Google has officially unveiled the Fitbit Edge, a new fitness wearable positioned between the Fitbit Air and Pixel Watch. The device offers over 50 exercise modes, a 40 percent GPS accuracy improvement, 15 percent better sleep stage detection, and a Health Guardian feature that flags shifts in metrics like blood pressure or insulin resistance. It also supports Gemini-powered Google Health Coach for subscribers and features a swappable 65mAh battery that charges fully in 90 minutes.
Google has introduced the Fitbit Edge, a $180 smartwatch measuring 11.5mm thick, positioned between the screenless Fitbit Air and the bulkier Pixel Watch 5. The device shares a similar display and touchscreen functionality with the three-year-old Fitbit Charge 6, and Google says it is its first repairable Fitbit.
Google announced three new features coming to the Fitbit Air, released in May, alongside its unveiling of the new Fitbit Edge. The features fall under Health Guardian, a background health-monitoring tool in the Google Health app, with Premium subscribers ($10/month or $100/year) gaining access to insulin resistance estimates, blood pressure trends and sleep breathing quality trends. Health Guardian will also reach the new Fitbit Edge, though Google has not set a release date.
