Google's latest tracker is a middle ground between a simple tracker and full smartwatch.
Google has unveiled the Fitbit Edge, its latest smartwatch for tracking your health, sleep and fitness. But with an aluminum case, a larger screen and a $180 price tag, is the upgrade worth it compared to the $99.95 Fitbit Inspire 3?
Both the Fitbit Edge and the Fitbit Inspire 3 use an AMOLED display, but the Edge offers a screen that's 6.9mm (0.27in) wider than the Inspire 3. Otherwise, their dimensions are very similar, with the Edge coming in at 39.2 x 25.5 x 11.5mm compared to the Inspire 3's 39.32 x 18.6 x 11.75mm size.
The Fitbit Edge's 100 percent recycled aluminum case and more tactile side button could be another value-add for those looking for something that looks a little less like an athletic watch and more like something you could wear to work. By comparison, the Fitbit Inspire 3 is more rectangular and its case is made of plastic.
The Fitbit Edge comes in four stock colors (olive green, black, white and a coral peach color), plus a pricier orange Steph Curry edition endorsed by the NBA star, while the Inspire 3 offers three stock colors (pink, orange and black). And while the Edge retails for $180, the Inspire 3 is 44% cheaper at $99.95. But if the Curry colorway is calling to you, it'll cost you $40 more than the base Edge model at $220.
Perhaps one of the best upgrades with the Fitbit Edge compared to the Inspire 3 is Edge's own built-in GPS, which Google says results in a 40 percent accuracy increase tracking your moves.
