It looks like Google is getting ready to take the wraps off its rumored Fitbit Edge next Monday. In a post on X, Google posted a picture of what appears to be the side of the fitness tracker, with the caption: “Get an Edge on your health. 10.12.26.”

A trove of Fitbit Edge leaks has surfaced over the past couple of weeks. So far, details shared by Dealabs and Android Headlines suggest that the upcoming device could feature a 1.34-inch always-on OLED touchscreen, built-in GPS, and several other sensors, including an accelerometer, barometer, altimeter, and gyroscope. It may also come with optical sensors for measuring heart rate and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and electrical sensors for capturing ECGs.

As reported by Dealabs, the tracker may also be able to notify wearers about potential atrial fibrillation and irregular heart rhythms. The Fitbit Edge is rumored to come with a replaceable lithium-ion battery with up to seven days of battery life. Rumors suggest that it could cost around $180 in the US when it launches next week.
