New Google Ad Shows a Mysterious Wearable. Is It the Next Fitbit?

Google hasn’t confirmed the brand-new, unreleased wearable, but it’s fun to speculate anyway.

New Google Ad Shows a Mysterious Wearable. Is It the Next Fitbit?

A recent Google ad has sparked curiosity among tech enthusiasts due to its mysterious wearable device. The ad, featured on YouTube and sponsored by Google Australia, showcases the upcoming Pixel 11 series, the Pixel Watch 5, and an unidentified gadget that resembles a blend between the Fitbit Charge 6 and the Pixel Watch 5. The device is distinguished by its oblong screen with rounded edges in a fog white color. The ad caption reads, "The ultimate power trio for your wrist, ears and hands. Preorder Pixel devices now."

Speculation surrounding the mystery wearable includes it possibly being the Fitbit Charge 7, a rebranded Pixel Watch series, or perhaps an entirely new fitness tracker. A Google representative has yet to comment on the matter.

Another Google Australia ad featuring the same unknown device was discovered, displaying the Pixel 11 phones, the Watch 5, Pixel Buds Pro 2, Pixelsnap phone cases, and Watch loop bands in an olive green color. This led some Reddit users to question whether the product was an error caused by AI or a deliberate sneak peek by Google, as they have done in the past with other unreleased products.

The Fitbit Air, a screenless health tracker, was found in a promotional video with NBA star Steph Curry in March, two months prior to its official release. If this pattern holds true, the mystery wearable could be unveiled in the coming weeks, available in both fog and olive green colors as part of Google's Pixel line.
