Google Fitbit Edge Review: I Still Prefer the Air (2026)
The Edge is a welcome upgrade for longtime Fitbit users, but the missing NFC technology is a puzzling regression.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the Fitbit Edge as a tracker that sits close to smartwatch territory and connect it to Google’s health ecosystem. Engadget emphasizes balance and says the device is a good fit for someone who wants a screen but not AI on the wrist, while Bloomberg Technology singles out the Google Health app and notes that, in its extract, it does not require owning a Fitbit.
