Google Teams Up with Stephen Curry for Exclusive Pixel Watch 5 Special Edition
Google has released a special edition of its Pixel Watch 5 smartwatch in collaboration with famous basketball player Stephen Curry. This limited-edition watch is designed for sports fans, mirroring the design of the Fitbit Air tracker that Curry helped promote.
The Pixel Watch 5 Special Edition Stephen Curry features a unique fabric strap called the Rye Performance Loop Band, which includes raised sections to improve airflow and grip. The strap costs $50 more than the standard edition, at $579.99.
This special edition watch does not offer any additional functional or hardware benefits beyond its design and premium strap. The regular Pixel Watch 5 was released in August 2022 with a price jump from the previous generation, starting at $399.99 for the 41mm edition and $429.99 for the 45mm version.
Curry had a significant role in promoting the Fitbit Air tracker ahead of its announcement, and he also helped develop Google Health alongside a panel of experts.
