Google is working on a new Fitbit tracking band in the same vein as the popular Whoop band, and it’s been hiding in plain sight for some time now.
Last month, a report revealed Google’s plans to create a screenless Fitbit bracelet, and we noticed at that moment that steph curry, Google’s “Performance Advisor” for Fitbit, had been not-so-subtly mocking the device on social media.
That continues.
As pointed out droid lifeCurry has been wearing the new screenless Fitbit band since January, with a grey/orange version of the band appearing in social media videos, press conferences and other videos. These additional appearances make it clear that this device is quite thin and the material looks familiar to other Fitbit products (and Pixel Watch bands).
The general setup basically looks like you’re using Google Performance Band for Pixel Watchjust without the clock part.
Perhaps even more interesting is to take a look at the Fitbit app experience for this new band. There’s little context here, but a “Live Data” page shows cardiovascular load, heart rate data, energy burned (calories), and “elapsed time” in a workout. The user interface here looks a lot like the Fitbit app, but this screen doesn’t exist today.
This is shown on a Pixel phone: Steph actually uses Messages bubbles! – in a behind the scenes vlog before the NBA All-Star weekend.
It’s still unclear when this new Fitbit band will actually launch.
