Rumor — unconfirmed reporting.
Google’s leaked Fitbit Edge now has rumored prices: €179 in Europe, £159 in the UK. It sounds like a pricier, screen-heavy Fitbit with Google Play baked in.

More details are leaking around Google’s next Fitbit, the Edge, and the big headline is price. Dealabs says it could launch at €179 in Europe and £159 in the UK. Based on how Google priced the screen-free Fitbit Air in those markets, 9to5Google thinks the Edge may land at about $180 in the US.
That puts it in a very different spot from the Air. The Edge is reportedly the more ambitious model, with a 1.34-inch always-on OLED touchscreen instead of no screen at all. It also runs Fitbit OS and includes access to Google Play.
And there’s a practical detail that matters more than the leak-chasing usually gets credit for: it will work with both Android and iOS devices over Bluetooth. That keeps it in the mainstream rather than turning it into yet another gadget that only behaves nicely if you’ve already signed the right ecosystem paperwork.
None of this is official yet, but the shape of the device is getting clearer. The Edge looks aimed at people who want a proper display, Fitbit’s software, and a closer tie to Google services — and who are willing to pay for it.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is classic Fitbit: the more screen and software it adds, the less “simple tracker” it becomes. The pricing leak suggests Google wants to push it upmarket, which is fine as long as it doesn’t turn into a small smartwatch with a fitness apology attached.
