Four Ways the Fitbit Edge Is Better Than the Charge 6, and Two Ways It Isn’t

Image
We may earn a commission from links on this page. The Fitbit brand has long been defined by fitness trackers with tiny screens, yet it's been three years since it released a new one. Now that the Fitbit Edge has been announced (and pre-orders have opened ), longtime Fitbit users are probably wondering how it compares to the last Fitbit release with a screen, the Charge 6 . The design is the first clear difference: The Edge fits in perfectly between the screenless Fitbit Air and the smooth, curved screen of the Pixel Watch . It runs on the same operating system as the Fitbit Air, which is slightly different from the OS that runs on Pixel watches. Like other Fitbits, the Edge pairs with both iPhones and Android devices. Now, let's look at what Google has added since the Charge 6—and what it took away. Google Fitbit Edge - Activity Tracker - Pyrite/Olive - Small & Large Band ...

I Tried the At-Home Flu Vaccine, and It Was Great

Image
If I ever skip my flu shot, or fail to get one for my kids, it's because I didn't find time to get to the pharmacy during flu shot season. But that changed with FluMist at Home, a mail order flu vaccine (covered by insurance!) that I've used two years running. The vaccine comes in the form of a nasal spray, so you don't have to inject anything. The at-home version of the vaccine was approved in 2024 , and became available for the first time in 2025. I used it then, and the process was so painless I did it again this year. I placed an order online, and one day a refrigerated box of vaccines showed up at my doorstep, one for each member of the family. We administered them in minutes, and could check "get flu shot" off our to-do lists. How to get the at-home flu vaccine The nasal spray vaccine, called FluMist , still needs to be prescribed by a medical provider. But since nearly everyone aged 2 through 49 is eligible, FluMist’s maker (AstraZeneca) has a created...
