The Fitbit Edge is for folks who don’t want to go totally screenless

The Fitbit Edge is for folks who don’t want to go totally screenless. A middle-of-the-road option that combines the Air’s simplicity with some of the Pixel Watch’s smarts.

Fitbit Edge 专为那些不想完全脱离屏幕的用户而设计。这是一款折中方案,结合了 Air 的简洁性与 Pixel Watch 的部分智能功能。

The Fitbit Edge may not be Google’s best-kept fitness-tracking secret, but as of today, its existence is official. The tracker sits smack-dab between the recently launched Fitbit Air and the more powerful Google Pixel Watch 5 in the company’s current wearable lineup.

Fitbit Edge 可能算不上谷歌最严密的健身追踪器机密,但从今天起,它的存在已正式官宣。在谷歌目前的穿戴设备产品线中,这款追踪器正好处于近期发布的 Fitbit Air 和功能更强大的 Google Pixel Watch 5 之间。

Much of the Edge’s specs were previously leaked, but the tracker has a 46 percent larger OLED display compared to the Charge 6, a physical side button, and is a smidge thicker at 11.5mm. It also sports a replaceable battery that gets about a week on a single charge, though that estimate drops to two days if you enable the always-on display.

Edge 的大部分规格此前已被泄露,但该追踪器配备了比 Charge 6 大 46% 的 OLED 显示屏,拥有一个物理侧边按钮,厚度略微增加至 11.5 毫米。它还配备了可更换电池,单次充电续航约为一周,但如果开启全天候显示功能,续航时间会缩短至两天。

There are a few notable hardware omissions. The Edge doesn’t have a mic or speaker, so you can’t take calls from the wrist even though you can see who’s calling on the screen. Also, unlike the Charge 6, it lacks an NFC chip for contactless payments.

硬件方面有几处明显的缺失。Edge 没有麦克风或扬声器,因此你无法通过手腕接听电话,尽管你可以在屏幕上看到来电显示。此外,与 Charge 6 不同,它缺少用于非接触式支付的 NFC 芯片。

The new Fitbit offers improved automatic workout tracking and GPS compared to the Charge 6. The former is a revised motion model that’ll also come to the Air. Beyond supporting racket sports, it pulls in location data and routines to make inferences about activities.

与 Charge 6 相比,这款新款 Fitbit 提供了改进的自动锻炼追踪和 GPS 功能。前者采用了一种经过修订的运动模型,该模型也将应用于 Air。除了支持球拍类运动外,它还会结合位置数据和日常习惯来推断用户的活动。

The Edge and Fitbit Air are also getting metal link and mesh straps to give a more jewelry-like look. Feature-wise, the device is meant for people who want glanceable information, with some but not all the bells and whistles of a smartwatch.

Edge 和 Fitbit Air 还将推出金属链带和网状表带,以呈现出更具珠宝质感的外观。在功能方面,该设备旨在为那些希望快速获取信息,但又不需要智能手表所有花哨功能的用户提供服务。
