Google Fitbit Edge Is Now in Stores: $179.99 Tracker With GPS, ECG and a Replaceable Battery

Google's Fitbit Edge fitness tracker reached store shelves on October 27, 2026, two weeks after pre-orders opened on October 12. It costs $179.99, sits between the screenless Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch in Google's lineup, and brings built-in GPS, an ECG app and, for the first time on a Fitbit tracker, a battery you can replace.

What changed versus Charge 6

According to the Google Store, the Edge has a 45% bigger and more than 40% brighter display than Charge 6, a redesigned interface with 10 new clock faces, an altimeter, on-wrist cycle tracking, and a replaceable battery. It is also Google's first Fitbit built with repair in mind.

Our take

The replaceable battery is the most interesting change. Trackers usually die when their battery wears out, so a device you can keep running for longer changes the value equation at $179.99.

The catch is the subscription. Google's own fine print says the coaching features require Google Health Premium, sold separately, and the three included months run out. The Gemini-powered coaching is a big part of the pitch, so factor the ongoing cost into your decision.

Who should buy it: runners and gym-goers who want GPS and a readable screen without a full smartwatch, and Charge 6 owners whose battery is fading. Who should skip it: anyone who wants a full smartwatch app experience, where Google itself positions Pixel Watch, and people who do not want another subscription.
