Google announces the Fitbit Edge, a middle ground between Pixel Watch 5 and Fitbit Air

Google is releasing its second Fitbit tracker of 2026, offering fans of the aging Charge 6 a more refined option. The new Fitbit Edge slots right in between the Pixel Watch 5 and the Fitbit Air, featuring a compact screen and more health sensors than the Air. You won’t get all the apps and features of the Pixel Watch 5, but the Edge is only about half as expensive.

谷歌正在发布其 2026 年的第二款 Fitbit 追踪器，为老化的 Charge 6 的粉丝们提供了一个更精致的选择。新款 Fitbit Edge 定位介于 Pixel Watch 5 和 Fitbit Air 之间，配备了紧凑的屏幕，且健康传感器比 Air 更多。虽然你无法获得 Pixel Watch 5 的所有应用程序和功能，但 Edge 的价格仅为其一半左右。

The Fitbit Edge is essentially a new Charge 6, but it has more of a Pixel Watch aesthetic. Squish Google’s smartwatch from the sides, and you’ve got the Edge. It has a pill-shaped 1.34-inch OLED touch display inside a slender aluminum frame that is rated IP68 (5 ATM) for water and dust protection. Google says the screen has 46 percent more viewable area compared to the Charge 6. It’s very close in overall size to the Fitbit Air and uses the same magnetic charging puck.

Fitbit Edge 本质上是一款新款 Charge 6，但它更具 Pixel Watch 的美感。如果把谷歌的智能手表从两侧挤压一下，你就会得到 Edge。它拥有一个药丸状的 1.34 英寸 OLED 触摸显示屏，置于纤细的铝制框架内，具备 IP68（5 ATM）防水防尘等级。谷歌表示，与 Charge 6 相比，该屏幕的可视面积增加了 46%。它的整体尺寸与 Fitbit Air 非常接近，并使用相同的磁吸充电底座。

The Edge works with Android or iPhones via the Google Health app, and it can run for about seven days on a charge. If the tracker is away from your phone, it can still follow your activity all week with support for seven days of full health data storage (or 30 days of basic data). However, the generous weeklong battery life does not include always-on display mode. If you turn it on, battery life drops to about two days, barely longer than the Pixel Watch 5.

Edge 通过 Google Health 应用程序与安卓或 iPhone 配合使用，充电一次可运行约七天。如果追踪器远离手机，它仍能全周追踪你的活动，并支持存储七天的完整健康数据（或 30 天的基础数据）。然而，这长达一周的续航时间并不包含全天候显示模式。如果你开启该模式，电池续航时间会降至约两天，仅比 Pixel Watch 5 稍长一点。

The Fitbit Edge plays it right down the middle in Google’s wearable lineup, and not just in price and size—button count also splits the difference. The Pixel Watch has two buttons, the Air has none, and the Edge sports a single tactile side button. You can use that to wake the device or start/pause workouts. Most interactions will be handled with the touchscreen, though.

Fitbit Edge 在谷歌的可穿戴设备产品线中处于中间位置，这不仅体现在价格和尺寸上，按钮数量也折中了。Pixel Watch 有两个按钮，Air 一个都没有，而 Edge 则配备了一个触感侧边按钮。你可以用它来唤醒设备或开始/暂停锻炼。不过，大多数交互操作将通过触摸屏完成。

The Edge will ship with a collection of fitness-focused experiences and watch faces, and you won’t be able to download more. While this looks a lot like the Pixel Watch’s software, it’s not a full version of WearOS. It can mirror notifications from your phone, but there’s no microphone or speaker. So responses are limited to pre-defined quick replies. Likewise, there’s no support for Gemini interactions. The Edge also lacks NFC, so there’s no Google Wallet tap-to-pay.

Edge 将预装一系列以健身为核心的体验和表盘，且无法下载更多内容。虽然它看起来很像 Pixel Watch 的软件，但它并非完整版的 WearOS。它可以镜像手机通知，但没有麦克风或扬声器。因此，回复仅限于预定义的快速回复。同样，它也不支持 Gemini 交互。Edge 还缺少 NFC 功能，因此无法使用 Google Wallet 进行感应支付。

One notable upgrade over the Fitbit Air is on-device GPS. This allows you to track an outdoor activity without bringing your phone along for the ride. However, Google says it’s not as accurate as the dual-band GPS radio in the Pixel Watch. The Edge does retain the ECG and blood oxygen sensor from the Pixel Watch, which you don’t get on the Air. The Edge also has an altimeter, optical heart rate sensor, and skin temperature sensor.

相比 Fitbit Air，一个显著的升级是内置了 GPS。这使你无需携带手机即可追踪户外活动。不过，谷歌表示其精度不如 Pixel Watch 中的双频 GPS 无线电。Edge 保留了 Pixel Watch 的心电图（ECG）和血氧传感器，而这些在 Air 上是没有的。Edge 还配备了高度计、光学心率传感器和皮肤温度传感器。

All this data is beamed over Bluetooth 5.4 to the Google Health app (previously Fitbit), feeding all your data into the Gemini-powered Health Coach chatbot. The device comes with three months of Google Health Premium, without which you won’t get the AI features. Of course, some would probably prefer to skip the AI. The Premium subscription is $10 per month. It’s included with Google AI Pro, but you can disable the Health Coach if you want.

所有这些数据通过蓝牙 5.4 传输到 Google Health 应用程序（前身为 Fitbit），并将所有数据输入到由 Gemini 驱动的健康教练聊天机器人中。该设备附带三个月的 Google Health Premium 会员资格，没有它你将无法使用 AI 功能。当然，有些人可能更愿意跳过 AI。Premium 订阅费用为每月 10 美元。它包含在 Google AI Pro 中，但如果你愿意，也可以禁用健康教练功能。

Like the Pixel Watch, the Edge will come with the basic silicone Active Band for $180. There is also a Stephen Curry Special Edition available for $220. The Edge has a custom band connector similar to the Pixel Watch, but the plug is a different size. While there will eventually be third-party options, Google plans to have a line of add-on bands at launch, including the Active Sport (silicone with holes) for $40, Performance Loop (polyester fabric) for $50, Magnet Band (leather-ish but still silicone) at $60, and a Metal Links Band for a whopping $150.

与 Pixel Watch 一样，Edge 将配备基础硅胶 Active 表带，售价 180 美元。此外还有售价 220 美元的斯蒂芬·库里特别版。Edge 拥有与 Pixel Watch 类似的定制表带连接器，但插头尺寸不同。虽然最终会有第三方选择，但谷歌计划在发布时推出一系列附加表带，包括售价 40 美元的 Active Sport（带孔硅胶）、售价 50 美元的 Performance Loop（聚酯纤维）、售价 60 美元的 Magnet Band（类皮革但仍为硅胶材质），以及售价高达 150 美元的金属链式表带。

The Fitbit Edge is available for preorder today and will ship on October 27. It comes in matte black, polished silver, satin pyrite (between silver and gold), and champagne gold. While this is a much more expensive tracker compared to the $100 Fitbit Air, it’s only a little more than the Charge 6’s 2023 launch price of $160. The Pixel Watch 5 starts at $350.

Fitbit Edge 即日起开启预购，并将于 10 月 27 日发货。它有哑光黑、抛光银、缎面黄铁矿色（介于银色和金色之间）和香槟金四种颜色可选。虽然这比 100 美元的 Fitbit Air 贵得多，但仅比 Charge 6 在 2023 年 160 美元的发布价格略高。Pixel Watch 5 的起售价为 350 美元。

Like the Air, this tracker is not an island within Google’s ecosystem. You can pair multiple Google wearables with the Health app and wear whichever one you want. There’s no need to re-pair or manually switch your health tracking over. The app collects stats from the device you wear at any given time, changing as often as necessary. So you could sport the Pixel Watch 5 during the day and the Edge when you hit the gym, for example.

与 Air 一样，这款追踪器在谷歌生态系统中并非孤立存在。你可以将多个谷歌可穿戴设备与 Health 应用程序配对，并佩戴你想要的任何一款。无需重新配对或手动切换健康追踪。该应用程序会从你当时佩戴的设备中收集统计数据，并根据需要进行切换。例如，你可以在白天佩戴 Pixel Watch 5，在去健身房时佩戴 Edge。

Google also notes the Edge can stay with you for the long haul. This is the company’s first repairable fitness tracker, which has been designed with a replaceable battery. Note that does not mean user-replaceable. There will be service options to swap the battery, but Google still doesn’t recommend you open up the tracker yourself.

谷歌还指出，Edge 可以长期陪伴你。这是该公司首款可维修的健身追踪器，其设计采用了可更换电池。请注意，这并不意味着用户可以自行更换。届时将提供更换电池的服务选项，但谷歌仍不建议你自行拆开追踪器。
