New information indicates that the Pixel Watch 5, Google’s latest smartwatch, will bring a special edition in partnership with Stephen Curry, featuring a style that has already been seen on the Fitbit Air. The revealed revelations point to a continuation of the technology giant’s strategy of integrating Fitbit’s aesthetics into its own devices, reinforcing the synergy between the acquired brands.
Images shared by anonymous tipsters show the Stephen Curry model of the Pixel Watch 5 in a silver version. The device will be accompanied by an exclusive brown fabric strap, adorned with orange details, including slightly raised bands on the inside, giving the smart watch a distinct and sporty look.
Design and features of the Stephen Curry edition
The familiarity of the design is no coincidence, as Google introduced a similar style with the Fitbit Air earlier this year. This choice underscores Google’s intention to create a more cohesive and recognizable ecosystem for its wearable devices, leveraging Fitbit’s strong visual identity to attract consumers who value aesthetics and fitness features.
On the outside of the band, an emblem displays the words “Stephen Curry” and the hashtag “#lockin,” adding a personalized touch and identifying the collaboration with the four-time NBA champion.

A marketing summary highlights that the bracelet offers water repellency, a fundamental attribute for those looking for a robust accessory for physical exercise.
This limited edition bracelet was developed in conjunction with Stephen Curry and is designed to keep up with intense workouts thanks to its specialized water-repellent coating.

An official note from Google, however, warns that the “water protection is not permanent.” The company indicates that the coating may lose its effectiveness or be completely removed over time, due to natural wear, environmental exposure and continuous use.
This version of the Pixel Watch 5 will cost 579.99 euros in its 45 mm LTE variant. There is still no clear information whether the market will receive a smaller 41 mm version or a model with only Bluetooth connectivity.
