Survey says the Fitbit Edge's biggest rival could be its own Google sibling

Oct 29, 2026 — 5:33 AM ET

The Fitbit Edge has launched to much fanfare and appreciation from those seeking an affordable fitness tracker with a smartwatch-like feel. Sitting plumb between the Pixel Watch and Fitbit Air lines, it offers consumers an easy first step if they want to climb Google’s wearable ladder.

It’s not alone in its segment, though. There are a host of alternatives that undercut its price or offer a few more goodies.

Given its popularity, we asked readers which wearable they’d buy instead of the Fitbit Edge, offering five distinct options in a recent poll. The results are as follows.

This poll garnered over 2,000 votes, and one thing is made immediately clear: readers don’t see smart rings as a viable alternative. The Oura Ring 5 received just 6.1% of the vote, trailing more traditional fitness tracker form factors.

There’s a big surprise in fourth place, too. The Pixel Watch 5, Google’s premier smartwatch and most feature-rich wearable, garnered support from only 20.3% of respondents. It lagged behind even the Fitbit Charge 6 (20.9%), a device that launched several years ago.

The device that won over most readers is the Fitbit Air. It gained 26% of the vote, the only device to garner more than a quarter of overall support. It’s practically the Edge sans screen, offering an unobtrusive tracking solution that can be worn with analog timekeepers.

Coming in just behind with 22.5% of the vote is the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3, a device that also launched in 2024 and will soon be replaced by its successor.

Notably, several readers — 4.2% of respondents, in fact — voted for a device that we didn’t list as an option. Some alternatives mentioned in the comments included the Garmin Venu 3, Hume Band 2.0, Fitbit Sense 2, and Suunto 9 Peak Pro.
