Google Teases Fitbit Edge Fitness Tracker for an Oct. 12 Launch

Google Health posted a Canyon-colored teaser with the date 10.12.26. Leaks point to a ~$180 band with a 1.34-inch AMOLED, seven-day battery and Gemini coaching between Fitbit Air and Pixel Watch 5.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - Google Health confirmed the Fitbit Edge on Friday with a short social teaser that sets a launch date of Oct. 12, 2026, putting the new fitness tracker just one day away from its formal unveil.

The post reads, “Get an Edge on your health. 10.12.26,” over a close crop of a metal band in Google’s Canyon colorway that also appears on the Pixel Watch 5. GSMArena, 9to5Google and Notebookcheck matched the teaser to weeks of marketing leaks that place Edge between the screenless Fitbit Air and the fuller Pixel Watch 5. Google has not published a full press sheet yet. Specs and pricing below come from those leaks and should be treated as unverified until Monday’s event.

Dealabs material cited by 9to5Google puts European pricing at about 179 euros and 159 pounds in the United Kingdom, which maps to roughly $180 in the United States. That would sit well above Fitbit Air (about 99 euros / 85 pounds in those markets) and well below the Pixel Watch 5’s $400 starting price. A Japanese retailer listing spotted over the weekend floated about 26,800 yen, which lines up with that band.

Leaked hardware details describe a 1.34-inch AMOLED display, Bluetooth 5.4, onboard GPS, IP68 and 5ATM water resistance, and a chassis about 11.58 mm thick, 39.22 mm tall and 25.56 mm wide at roughly 17.7 grams. Battery life is said to reach seven days with the always-on display off, or about two days with it on, plus a claim of roughly 24 hours of runtime from a five-minute charge. Phone support is listed for Android 11 and newer and iOS 16.4 and newer, which would keep Edge on the dual-platform track Fitbit Air already uses and that Pixel Watch lacks.

Feature leaks point to more than 40 exercise modes, SpO2, heart rate, sleep, skin temperature, menstrual cycle tracking, ECG and atrial fibrillation alerts, cardiac load, VO2 max and Gemini-powered coaching. Some reports also mention a user-replaceable battery and limited Google Play integration. Colorways rumored so far include Obsidian and Matte Black, Olive and Satin Pyrite, Canyon and Champagne Gold, and Fog and Polished Silver.

Google Health has been answering regional availability questions on X by saying India, Turkey and other markets do not yet have confirmed store dates, and that shoppers should watch the Google Store. Until Monday’s event locks MSRP, sensors and ship windows, Edge remains a dated teaser plus a detailed but unofficial leak sheet.
