Google has introduced Fitbit Edge, a new fitness tracker that combines built-in GPS, an AMOLED display and a broader set of health and recovery features in a 17.7g aluminium body.
In Singapore, Fitbit Edge is priced at S$249 with three months of Google Health Premium included. Pre-orders are available through Metapod, Best Denki, Shopee and Lazada, ahead of retail availability from 27 October 2026.
A larger AMOLED display in a lightweight body
Fitbit Edge uses a 1.34-inch colour AMOLED display with an always-on mode and adjustable brightness. Its recycled-aluminium housing measures 39.22 × 25.56 × 11.58mm and weighs 17.7g without a band.
Google lists four case-and-band combinations: Matte Black with Obsidian, Polished Silver with Fog, Satin Pyrite with Olive, and Champagne Gold with Canyon. Small and large silicone Active Bands are included, covering wrist circumferences from 130mm to 210mm, while interchangeable bands provide additional options.
Built-in GPS and automatic workout recognition
The tracker supports more than 40 exercise modes, with live metrics available on the device and in the Google Health app. Built-in support for GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou and QZSS lets users record outdoor routes without relying on a phone for positioning.
Automatic activity recognition also covers more than 40 exercise modes, according to Google's Singapore technical specifications. Other fitness features include pace and distance tracking, Active Zone Minutes, cardio load, readiness, VO2 max estimates and workout-intensity maps.
Some coaching features, including personalised fitness plans and on-wrist coaching cues, require a Google Health Premium subscription. Fitbit Edge works with most devices running Android 11 or newer, or iOS 16.4 and above, and requires a Google Account and the Google Health app.
Health trends need careful interpretation
Fitbit Edge includes optical heart-rate monitoring, red and infrared sensors for blood-oxygen tracking, electrical sensors compatible with the Fitbit ECG app, and a far-field skin-temperature sensor. It can also provide high and low heart-rate notifications, irregular-rhythm notifications and sleep-stage analysis where supported.
Google is adding monthly blood-pressure and insulin-resistance trends through its Health Guardian features. These are general-wellness indicators rather than diagnostic tools. Google states that the blood-pressure feature does not provide clinical real-time readings or replace professional assessment, while the insulin-resistance feature does not measure glucose in real time or support changes to diabetes medication.
Availability varies by country, age and subscription. The ECG app is limited to selected markets and is not intended for people under 22, while blood-oxygen and rhythm features are also subject to regional restrictions. Users should not treat the device as a substitute for medical advice.
Seven-day battery claim and a replaceable cell
Google rates Fitbit Edge for up to seven days of battery life, although actual endurance depends on enabled features, GPS use, display settings and other conditions. A full charge is quoted at about 90 minutes, while five minutes of charging can provide up to one day of use when the battery is low. The required 30W wall adaptor is sold separately.
The device carries 5 ATM and IP68 ratings when it leaves the factory, but Google notes that water and dust resistance can diminish with wear or damage. It is intended for shallow-water use rather than high-velocity water activities.
Fitbit Edge is also Google's first fitness tracker with a user-replaceable battery. Repair options vary by region, and Google advises that self-service work should only be attempted by an adult with the technical expertise to repair electronics safely.
Singapore price and availability
Fitbit Edge costs S$249 in Singapore and includes three months of Google Health Premium for eligible users. Pre-orders are offered through Metapod, Best Denki, Shopee and Lazada. From 27 October 2026, it will be sold online and in stores through Metapod, Best Denki, FairPrice and Harvey Norman, as well as online through Shopee and Lazada.
