The story

The Fitbit Edge is the first repairable Fitbit.
Previously, Google would just offer replacements for broken Fitbit devices.
However, even now, the only repairable part is the battery, and there are no details about the screen’s repair.

Despite its (relatively) compact size, the Fitbit Edge borrows several features from the Pixel Watch, including mirroring of notifications and step-by-step directions from Google Maps. It also carries forward hardware-based features from previous Fitbit trackers, including ECG, skin temperature, SpO2, and more.
