Google is selling the Fitbit Edge at $179.99, $80 more than the screenless $99.99 Fitbit Air, with shipping from Oct. 27. The extra $80 covers more than a display, and a year of the optional Google Health Premium subscription costs more than the gap.

Google's Fitbit Edge will sell for €179 in Europe and £159 in the UK, according to a Dealabs leak, or about $180 in the US by 9to5Google's estimate. The roughly $80 premium over the screen-free Fitbit Air buys a display with Google Play access.

Google's leaked Fitbit Edge puts a seven-day tracker between the $99.99 Fitbit Air and the $399.99 Pixel Watch. A Charge 6 bought now at $159.95 is likely the last of a line Google last refreshed in 2023.
