Google leaves door open to a Pixel Watch feature on Fitbit Edge

Google says it has not ruled out bringing a top Pixel Watch feature to the Fitbit Edge, so anyone eyeing the tracker may want to wait for news.

Google has not ruled out bringing a top Pixel Watch feature to the Fitbit Edge, according to Android Authority. That means a fitness tracker could pick up some smartwatch-style abilities down the road.

The idea looks possible for a simple reason. The Fitbit Edge already has the sensors the feature would need. Sensors are the small parts inside a device that collect information. Having the right hardware is a good start, but it does not guarantee a feature will arrive.

What is not known yet

Google's plans are still taking shape. Nothing is confirmed, and no date has been given. The material also does not say which Pixel Watch feature is under discussion, or what it might cost. Not ruling something out is not the same as promising it.

What to do

If you own a Fitbit Edge, nothing changes today. If you are thinking about buying one, waiting for more news could pay off, since the tracker may gain smartwatch-style features later. If it already does everything you need, there is no harm in buying it as it is.

The takeaway

A Fitbit Edge upgrade is possible but unconfirmed, so hold off on buying only if that Pixel Watch feature matters to you.
