Leaked images and spec sheets suggest Google is developing a new wearable called the Fitbit Edge, which appears to be a successor to the Fitbit Charge 6. The device features an oval screen, GPS, an altimeter, and a seven-day battery life, while maintaining compatibility with both iOS and Android. Although no official release date or price has been confirmed, the rumors indicate a strategic move to re-enter the screen-based fitness tracker market.
