Google Hints at a New Fitness Health Wearable, Hidden in a Steph Curry Video

Looks like Google’s Fitbit and Pixel smartwatches might be getting a new sibling.

In a 15-second clip posted on Tuesday by NBA star and Google performance advisor Steph Curry, there’s an Easter egg hinting at what could be a notable new wearable launch from Google. The paid partnership shows Curry dribbling and shooting a basketball, followed by the Google logo, but it’s the band on his wrist that caught my eye.

A gray wristband with neon orange piping and a strap adjuster sits on Curry’s wrist. There’s no screen, reminding us of the Whoop wrist-based wearable, which announced on Tuesday that it raised $575 million in funding, bringing its valuation to $10.1 billion.

If it is similar to Whoop, the new Google wearable may be able to monitor sleep, stress, recovery and overall health by tracking wrist-based metrics such as skin temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen levels and daily behaviors.

«I’m excited for what this is going to mean for the world, for health and wellness. It’s the first of its kind, in a way,» Curry says in a voiceover. «I won’t spoil it. You’re going to have to see it for yourself.» The video’s text adds, «A new relationship with your health. Coming soon.»

When asked about the potential new launch, a Google representative responded, «Our performance advisor has been working with the team to cook up something special 👀. More to share soon.»

Aside from not having a screen, it will be interesting to see how Google differentiates this new device from its current line of wearables, which includes Pixel smartwatches and five Fitbit models.

In a comment on the video, the account for Fitbit, Google’s current wearable fitness tracker, responded with the eyes emoji.

Why Curry?

In August 2025, at the Made by Google event, the company announced a long-term partnership with Curry, who signed on as Google’s performance advisor across Google Health, Google Pixel and Google Cloud. As part of his role, Curry assists Google in training its algorithm and designing new products and features.

In the announcement post, Google mentioned that Curry uses AI from Google Cloud insights and the AI basketball coach to improve his game. Curry says this helps him analyze his shot quality and optimize his workout strategy. Based on this — and the fact that basically every new tech product now uses AI — we bet that Google’s upcoming wearable incorporates AI in some form.
