Google announces the Fitbit Edge, a middle ground between Pixel Watch 5 and Fitbit Air
The Fitbit Edge offers more than the Air, but it's not a real smartwatch.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Google’s Fitbit-branded wearables, but they frame the update differently. TechCrunch is the only outlet here to center the Fitbit Edge as Google’s “middle ground” device and to mention its $179.99 price and OLED display. Engadget instead leads on new health features for the Fitbit Air and Edge, plus expanded automatic activity tracking, and is the only one to mention a new band for the Fitbit Air.
