Fitbit Edge review: Google balances style and function

The Fitbit Edge is a new activity tracker from Google that aims to strike a balance between a stylish design and essential fitness tracking features. Unlike previous Fitbit models that struggled with fashion, the Edge boasts a curvier, wider oblong design with a bright, navigable touchscreen and an attractive array of straps. It offers a more modern feel than older devices like the Fitbit Alta and Luxe, and its narrower shape is less obtrusive during workouts compared to larger smartwatches like the Apple Watch or Pixel Watch 5. The Edge also includes features such as Google Maps support and ECG readings, positioning it as a spiritual successor to devices like the Charge 6. AI

IMPACT Offers a stylish, functional alternative for users seeking a fitness tracker without integrated AI features.
