Fitness Trackers

Google's next fitness tracker is no longer a rumor. The company's Google Health account posted on X on October 9 that the Fitbit Edge — a brand-new band-style tracker — will be fully revealed on October 12, 2026, just days from now.

The smart ring race just gained a new seal of credibility. RingConn, the health-focused wearable maker founded in 2021, announced on October 10 that its Smart Ring has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for non-invasive blood oxygen (SpO2) measurement (Clearance No. K260490).

Google's next wearable finally has a date. The Google Health account teased on X this week that a new Fitbit device — widely expected to be the Fitbit Edge — will be announced on October 12, with the tagline "Get an Edge on your health." The teaser shows only a close-up of the device's edge, but the message is clear enough.
