The Fitbit Edge is positioned as a middle-ground option between the Fitbit Air and the Google Pixel Watch 5. It offers a larger OLED display, a physical side button, and a replaceable battery that lasts up to a week. The device also includes health-tracking features like EKG for atrial fibrillation detection and SpO2 monitoring. While it lacks a microphone and speaker for calls, it supports notifications and has improved automatic workout tracking compared to the Charge 6. The Edge is priced at $179.99, with an additional $20 over the Charge 6, but includes three months of Google Health Premium.
