Mysterious Google Smartband Spotted in Ads

During Google's Pixel event last week, the company unveiled the Pixel 11 series and Pixel Watch 5, but made no mention of new Fitbit devices or a second smartwatch. However, Google Australia is running ads featuring an unknown smartband, sparking speculation among Redditors about whether it could be the Fitbit Charge 7, a Google Pixel Watch a-series, or something entirely new.

The mysterious device appears in at least two images and looks distinctly different from the Fitbit Charge 6 and Fitbit Inspire 3. The prominent Google Pixel branding in the advertisements suggests it may be a Pixel device rather than a Fitbit product, which typically carry "Google Fitbit" branding.

If this is indeed a Pixel-branded smartband, it would mark Google's first entry into the smartband market, raising questions about whether Wear OS will support bands or if a separate operating system will be used.

This unexpected appearance has generated significant interest and curiosity among tech enthusiasts and industry observers alike.
