Our quick verdict

The Fitbit Edge is the stronger choice: it lasts longer between charges (up to 7 days), works with Android phones and iPhones and is lighter to wear all day, though some coaching features need a Google Health Premium subscription, while the Google Pixel Watch 2 only takes calls from the wrist.
