Google has introduced a special edition of its Pixel Watch 5, featuring a collaboration with NBA superstar Stephen Curry. This premium offering, priced at $579.99, makes it the most expensive model in the Pixel Watch 5 lineup.
A Premium Collaboration
The Stephen Curry edition Pixel Watch 5 comes exclusively in a 45mm size and includes LTE connectivity. This places it at a $180 premium over the standard 41mm model, which retails for $399.99. The key differentiator for this special edition is its exclusive band, a Rye-colored Performance Loop, which is not available for separate purchase.
Designed for Performance
The custom Performance Loop band is designed with a water-repellent coating to aid in moisture management. Google states this design is particularly suitable for activities involving sweat or water exposure, such as intense workouts and water sports, offering enhanced comfort and functionality compared to the standard Performance Loop.
