Google’s Pixel Watch looks due to get a coral sport band in the near future, and you can see it ever so briefly in Google’s latest #FixedOnPixel video. Now the video itself is mostly focused on the new Pixel 7 phone, and not the watch.
The aim is to highlight Women’s Soccer star Megan Rapinoe and the Pixel 7. “A legendary athlete deserves a legendary phone” the video’s description says. The ad is perfect timing with the beginning Women’s World Cup having started this week. But for all intentions of advertising the Pixel phones, Google saw fit to sneak in a plug for the upcoming coral Pixel Watch band.
It’s only in frame for a couple seconds. But that’s more than enough time to get a decent look at it. And as you’d expect, it’s a coral sport band. Nothing more, nothing less. It follows Google’s theme of colors across much of its product line. And it might just be the color you’ve been waiting for personally. If that’s the case, you’ll need to wait just a bit longer to buy one for your own watch.
The coral Pixel Watch band launches this Fall
Google offers a handful of bands for the Pixel Watch, but the coral band is not one of them. Not yet at least. As 9To5Google points out, the band will become available later this Fall. So expect to see it hit the Google Store sometime near the end of September or later. If we had to guess, it’ll likely release around the time Google holds its Fall Pixel event.
Google doesn’t list a cost in the video but current active bands on offer are $49.99. So there’s a chance this new coral band ends up being the same price as those. It does however also look a little bit different from those. The coral band worn by Rapinoe has holes that you see on a lot of other sports bands for different watches. Whereas the ones Google currently sells have no holes. This means it’s an entirely new band and not just another color of the active ones you can already buy. So it could very well have a different cost too.
