Google Health Premium: Because You Need to Pay More
To get the most out of the Fitbit Edge, users can subscribe to Google Health Premium, which unlocks the Google Health Coach and other exclusive features.

The Fitbit Edge launches on October 27, 2026, priced at $229.99 CAD, with the accessories starting at $39.99.

In conclusion, the Fitbit Edge is just another gadget in a long line of gadgets that promise to make our lives easier, but really just add to the clutter.
