Google developing screen-less Fitbit band spotted in public appearances

Google is developing a new screen-less Fitbit tracking band similar to the Whoop fitness tracker, with the device appearing in public through social media posts by company advisor Steph Curry. The basketball star, who serves as Google's "Performance Advisor" for Fitbit, has been wearing the grey and orange band since January in various videos and public appearances. The band resembles Google's Performance Band for Pixel Watch but without the watch component, featuring a thin design with materials consistent with other Fitbit products. Curry has showcased the unreleased device across multiple platforms, including behind-the-scenes content from NBA All-Star Weekend. Software screenshots reveal a "Live data" page within the Fitbit app displaying workout metrics including Cardio Load, heart rate monitoring, calories burned, and elapsed exercise time. This interface appears distinct from current Fitbit application screens, suggesting new software features tailored for the band. Technology blog Droid-Life first highlighted Curry's ongoing use of the device, noting the consistent visibility throughout his public engagements. The development follows last month's reports about Google's plans for a screen-less Fitbit band positioned in the fitness tracking market. No official launch timeline has been announced for the new Fitbit band product.
