This mysterious, unnamed fitness tracker that appears in some of Google’s marketing for the Pixel 11 is real and will be released soon. Thanks to new leaked images and materials from Android Headlines, we now know that the device, dubbed the “Fitbit Edge,” is designed to sit between the screenless Fitbit Air and the more fully featured Pixel Watch 5, offering the former’s health features without all the apps and smartphone-like qualities of the latter.
The Fitbit Edge is coming soon!
This is the tracker we saw in some of Google’s promotional materials for the Pixel 11 series. Basically a hybrid of the Fitbit Air and Pixel Watch 5, potentially a successor to the Fitbit Charge series.

The new Edge images are consistent with what Google casually shared in its marketing. The device has a small, oval-shaped screen that offers enough space to display the date and time, two widgets, and what looks like a shortcut for a common workout type (in this case, running). The fitness tracker is available in at least black, green and orange color options, according to Android Headlines, although the fact that it has interchangeable bands suggests even more customization is possible. There is also a large button on the side of the wearable, a sensor array that looks similar to the one Google provided on the Fitbit Air, and smaller buttons on the back to release the Edge armband. The whole package doesn’t seem quite as luxurious as a Pixel Watch, but it does seem more premium than older Fitbit devices.
Outside of its health features (which presumably feed into the AI-powered Google Health Coach), the fitness tracker will be able to show notifications from a connected smartphone and run some special apps like Google Maps, YouTube Music and Find My Phone. Interestingly, it also gets around seven days of battery life and is able to work with Android and iOS devices, just like the Fitbit Air.
For a rumored price of anywhere from $149 to $199, the Fitbit Edge could be a replacement for Fitbit’s original Charge lineup or its more expensive, smartwatch-esque Versa devices. Combined with the Air from earlier this year, the device makes it seem like Google is interested in reviving Fitbit after a few years of dormancy. It seems unlikely that the company will release the number of devices that Fitbit had at its peak, but like the company’s phones, there could be a Google wearable for any price point. Screenless wearables have their charm, but some people really like having a screen and aren’t willing to switch to Android or pay the ever-increasing price of a Pixel Watch to get one. For them, the Edge – assuming Google releases it in October – could be a layup.
