Google unveils Fitbit Edge with a screen and expanded health features
Google's new Fitbit Edge is a fitness tracker with an OLED screen and more features than the screenless Fitbit Air.
It is aimed at people who want some smartwatch features without buying a full smartwatch like the Pixel Watch 5.
The Edge can show workout stats, mirror some notifications, and support Google Maps, media controls, calls and messages.
It also tracks workouts and health measures, and includes an app for taking an ECG to check heart rhythm.
Google says its GPS is more accurate than the previous generation and that the battery can last up to seven days.
The tracker is designed to be repairable, with a replaceable battery.
The available information does not give the Edge's price or say when it will go on sale.
