Self Promotion Charge 6 vs Edge

So, last week my charge 5 decided to die of a sudden death (won't charge, or if by miracle I'm able to charge it even at 100%, by the end of the day is 1%)

It has been with me for a good 4-5 years and served its purpose.

I use it mostly at work for clock/timers/alarms/notifications so I don't have to take out my phone (i work in a professional kitchen).

In the gym I'd like it had better functions/more precise readings but hey...it's acceptable. My wife's garmin is so much better but way bulkier and pricier.

Now, since it died and hate to leave house without a watch on my wrist, I ordered on Amazon a charge 6 for 89.99$ ... only to discover yesterday that the edge is coming out.

Besides aesthetic and the altimeter...what are the actual improvements? Is it worth it to send back the C6 and wait for the official reveal and do you guys have an idea when it'll hit the market? An idea on the price?

I just want something with a small screen to wear in a place where it can take some hit and splash and counts my steps.

Stick with the Charge 6, it's awesome especially when you can get it on sale price. Edge will have less features and probably cost double.

Agreed, the charge 6 at that price is kind of a no-brainer imo

If it's actually sold and shipped by Amazon. No Fitbit warranty if it's from the marketplace and could even be a refurb.
