Google debuts the $180 Fitbit Edge tracker, which replaces the Fitbit Charge 6. The device gives consumers another way to try the recently revamped Google Health app.
Google is bringing Health Guardian to Fitbit Air and Fitbit Edge users with Google Health Premium, alongside an expanded automatic activity-tracking update for those devices and select Pixel Watches. Health Guardian provides monthly blood pressure and insulin resistance trend summaries and personalized recommendations, while the tracking update recognizes more than 100 workouts and cuts missed workouts by more than half in tests. Google also introduces a $70 stainless steel Metal Mesh band for the Fitbit Air, with preorders opening next week.
Some investors approached about buying shares in Oura Inc.’s now-delayed initial public offering decided not to proceed. They reportedly pushed back over the company’s valuation.
