The topic Google\u2019s new Fitbit band has continued hiding in plain sight, software too [Gallery]<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Google is working on a new Fitbit tracking band in the same vein as the popular Whoop band, and it\u2019s been hiding in plain sight for some time now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Last month, a report revealed Google\u2019s plans to make a screen-less Fitbit band, and we noted at the time that Steph Curry, Google\u2019s \u201cPerformance Advisor\u201d for Fitbit, had been not-so-subtly teasing the device on social media.<\/p>\n

As noted by Droid-Life, Curry has been wearing the new screen-less Fitbit band since January, with a grey\/orange version of the band popping up in social media videos, press conferences, and other videos. These additional looks make it clear this device is pretty thin, and the material looks familiar to other Fitbit products (and Pixel Watch bands).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The overall setup looks basically like you\u2019re wearing Google\u2019s Performance Band for Pixel Watch, just without the watch part.<\/p>\n

Perhaps even more interesting is a look at the Fitbit app experience for this new band. There\u2019s little context here, but a \u201cLive data\u201d page shows Cardio Load, heart rate data, energy burned (calories), and \u201cElasped time\u201d in a workout. The UI here looks very much like it\u2019s from the Fitbit app, but this screen doesn\u2019t exist today.<\/p>\n

This is shown on a Pixel phone \u2013 Steph actually uses Messages bubbles! \u2013 in a behind-the-scenes vlog ahead of NBA All-Star Weekend.<\/p>\n

It remains unclear when this new Fitbit band will actually be launching.<\/p>\n
