Google Fitbit Edge Review: I Still Prefer the Air (2026)

Key points

  • The Fitbit Edge's 1.34-inch display gives it a clear advantage over the screenless Air, particularly during outdoor workouts. Wearers can check metrics, control music and follow Google Maps directions from the wrist.
  • The reviewer found the Performance Loop band could pop loose during adjustment, and a stuck locking button needed fixing. The Edge offers up to seven days of battery life and works with both iOS and Android.
  • It is also Fitbit's first repairable tracker, with a replaceable battery. Added health features include monthly blood pressure and insulin resistance trends, and ECG with atrial fibrillation detection.
