Google is expected to launch the Fitbit Edge on October 12, 2026, as the successor to the Fitbit Charge 6. The device had been rumoured for weeks and was widely expected to be called the Fitbit Charge 7, but Google has now teased it under the Edge name. Early leaks did not reveal a name and only suggested that a new tracker was coming. The Google Health account on X posted the line “Get an Edge on your health” along with the date 10.12.26. The teaser image shows a champagne gold body with a button and a small section of silicone strap that appears to match the Canyon colour of the Pixel 11 Pro phones, with glass covering a screen.
Much of what is known about the product comes from leaks. Reports from Android Headlines and leaker Evan Blass had already revealed details, and Google also showed the tracker in marketing material by accident after the launch of the Pixel 11 and Pixel Watch 5. According to those leaks, the Fitbit Edge will come in four colours, which are Canyon, Olive, Fog and Obsidian, paired with Satin Pyrite, Polished Silver and Matte Black bodies. The screen is the main feature that separates it from the Fitbit Air, Google’s screenless tracker, which was reviewed at $99.99. That gives Google two distinct trackers, one without a display and one with a full screen.
On specifications, the Fitbit Edge is expected to have a 1.34-inch AMOLED always-on display, GPS, NFC, a heart rate sensor and Bluetooth. It is said to offer IP68 protection, more than 40 exercise modes and battery life of up to seven days. It will work with both iOS and Android and run Fitbit software, not Wear OS. The design is described as closer to the Pixel Watch than the Charge 6, which makes it a more modern looking replacement for one of the most popular fitness trackers in Google’s range, and the move away from the Charge name marks a clear change in how the product line is presented.
Pricing has not been confirmed. The tracker is rumoured to cost £159 in the UK and €179 in Europe, with the US price likely to be around $180. Google is expected to promote its AI-driven health and fitness data as a major selling point, which is why the teaser was posted through the Google Health account. Buyers should note that some AI features, such as the Health Coach, require a paid Google Health Premium subscription, so the total cost of using the tracker’s full feature set will be higher than the price of the device alone. Google is expected to share official details at the launch, and until then the specifications and prices should be treated as leaked information.
