Summary
$180 Fitbit Edge opened for preorder Monday, with shipments starting Oct. 27 and a $220 Stephen Curry edition planned in select countries.
The new band adds a 1.34-inch display, Fitbit's first replaceable battery, weeklong battery life and a five-minute top-up that delivers a day's power.
Google is using the device to drive adoption of its redesigned health platform, bundling three months of Google Health Premium, which costs $10 a month or $100 a year.
Google said it will discontinue the Charge line and focus its wearables lineup on the Edge, Pixel Watch and the screenless Fitbit Air introduced in May.
