CloseGoogle Pixel 111 17Google might be inadvertently hyping up a new wearable which has not been introduced by the company yet. There seems to be some kind of fitness tracker in several ads featuring the newly launched Pixel 11 range in Australia and elsewhere, with people speculating whether the tech giant is working on its next Fitbit Charge watch or something new for the Pixel line.The wearable was seen in at least two ads featuring the Pixel 11 range, appearing alongside the newly launched Pixel phones and Pixel Watch 5. However, it looks different from any of the recent announcements from the company in the wearable segment.About The AuthorJournalist and a writer with a strong interest in news, culture, technology, and human-interest stories. Passionate about making complex topics accessible and engaging.A new wearable hiding in Pixel 11 adsThe most recent Pixel event by Google featured the Pixel 11 line-up, including Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL and Pixel 11 Pro Fold smartphones. Furthermore, Google presented the Pixel Watch 5 as well as its first smart tracker, the Pixel Tag.It should be noted that no other smartwatch or Fitbit product was discussed in this event. Yet, Google Australia apparently added an unnamed wearable to its Pixel 11 ad campaign.The wearable in question has a small oblong display and a form factor more resembling a fitness tracker rather than a smartwatch. Unlike the round display of the Pixel Watch 5, the elongated screen of this device also sets it apart from the likes of the Fitbit Versa 4.This device comes in Olive and Fog colors, which also match those in the entire Pixel 11 range. Notably, there do not appear to be any physical buttons on the wearable in question.What makes this discovery particularly intriguing is the fact that the same wearable reportedly made an appearance in several ad campaigns. This means that the possibility of this being a mere graphical mistake or AI error is much lower.Could this be the Fitbit Charge 7?The most obvious possibility is a successor to the Fitbit Charge 6. The Charge 6 is now around three years old, making a new generation plausible.More articles by AuthorTrending StoriesApart from the mysterious device’s functionality, it also bears a design that lies in between the screenless Fitbit Air and current generation of Charge devices. Therefore, it can be considered interesting for those customers who would like to buy themselves a fitness tracker with a screen but do not need all the functionalities of a smartwatch.Nevertheless, at the moment, there is no evidence whatsoever that Google plans to release the Fitbit Charge 7. The company has neither announced such a product nor said anything about mysterious wearable devices in its advertising campaigns.There is another detail that makes the Fitbit theory less straightforward. Fitbit products generally carry Google Fitbit branding, while the mysterious device appears in marketing alongside Pixel products and seems to fit more naturally into Google's Pixel ecosystem.Or is Google preparing its first Pixel smartband?If the device isn't a Fitbit, the alternative could be considerably more interesting: Google might be working on its first Pixel-branded fitness band.The company has never released a conventional Pixel smartband. Its current wearable strategy instead spans the Pixel Watch series and Fitbit's fitness-focused products. A Pixel-branded tracker with a display would therefore create a new category within Google's hardware lineup.It also leaves many questions open concerning the software itself. As seen in the advertisements, the screen has what looks to be an interface that is similar to that of the Pixel Watch 5's, but there are still doubts whether such a gadget will work on Wear OS or some other OS created specially for trackers.The Fitbit Air makes things even more confusingGoogle recently introduced the Fitbit Air, a screenless fitness tracker designed to focus on health and activity tracking without the distractions of a display.That makes the appearance of another small fitness-focused wearable somewhat unexpected. If Google is indeed preparing a new screen-equipped tracker, it would sit between the Fitbit Air and the Pixel Watch 5 in the company's wearable lineup.Another interesting thing about this mysterious gadget is the fact that the Fitbit Air is not seen in these specific Pixel 11 commercials, while it is in others from Google advertising campaigns.So far, there are no guarantees that the device used in these commercials is going to become one of Google's products. It might just be a part of some promotional campaign and a not-yet-released gadget.Nevertheless, the repeated appearance of the same gadget in these commercials indicates that there is definitely something behind them. Even if it turns out to become the Fitbit Charge 7 or something completely different, like the Pixel smartband, Google has definitely created another mystery for Pixel fans. FAQsWhat is the mysterious wearable seen in the Pixel 11 ads by Google?There is no official confirmation by Google on the device in question. This is a small-sized fitness tracker with an elongated display that is visible in the Pixel 11 ads by Google. In terms of design, the device looks more similar to Fitbit Charge than to Pixel Watch 5 or the screenless Fitbit Air.Is it possibly the Fitbit Charge 7?This could very well be the case, since the Fitbit Charge 6 is about three years old now. There is no confirmation by Google on the Charge 7, or that the device featured in the ad is going to be an upcoming Fitbit product.Can it be the Google Pixel smartband?There is a possibility, but at this point there is no evidence of Google working on any such device.How does the mystery tracker differ from the Pixel Watch 5?The Pixel Watch 5 has a round smartwatch display, while the mystery device has a much smaller, elongated screen and a fitness-band-style body. It therefore appears to be aimed at a different category of users.Is it the Fitbit Air?No. The Fitbit Air is a screenless fitness tracker, whereas the device shown in the Pixel 11 advertisements clearly has a display.end of article
