Google’s next Fitbit device hasn’t been officially announced, but as of Monday, we’ve possibly already seen it multiple times.
The latest leak comes courtesy of Android Headlines, which posted exclusive photos of a new device purportedly called “Fitbit Edge.” It looks a lot like a Fitbit Air, but with an oval smartwatch display. According to Android Headlines, the new watch will launch in October for $149 to $199, with limited app support, Android and iOS compatibility, notifications, a seven-day battery life, and GPS. It’ll also reportedly come in the same colors as the Pixel 11 Pro phone: Canyon, Olive, Fog, and Obsidian.
Other odds and ends include sensors on the back (presumably for tracking health metrics) and a long button along the side of the display. But this may not be the device’s first appearance. Google actually included what appears to be the same watch in some photos of its upcoming product alternative lineup around Made by Google in August. Reddit users noticed the mystery device pretty quickly at the time. Those earlier images came directly from Google, though the company variation hasn’t confirmed the details in this latest leak.

If all of this is to be believed, the Fitbit Edge could offer a nice middle ground between the Fitbit Air and a more expensive smartwatch like the Google Pixel Watch 5. If that October launch holds, we should find out more soon.
