Leaked renders and reports reveal a special edition Pixel Watch 5 featuring Stephen Curry branding and a distinctive woven strap, hinting at a limited, sports-inspired release aimed at style-conscious buyers.
Google is expected to unveil the Pixel Watch 5 on August 20, and leaks suggest the line will include a Stephen Curry special edition aimed at buyers who want a more distinctive version of the new smartwatch. The reported design appears to be based on the 45 mm LTE model, with the main difference coming from a custom woven strap rather than any major hardware change.
According to leaked renders reported by several outlets, the Curry model uses a stone grey and taupe loop band with orange highlights, plus Stephen Curry and “#LockIn” branding. The strap is said to be water-repellent, although one report notes that the coating may wear down over time. That points to a sporty accessory designed more for identity and styling than for technical differentiation.
Pricing leaks place the special edition at about $669 in the US and €579.99 in Europe, roughly $35 or €30 above the standard model. Reports also suggest the Curry variant may not be sold in all markets and could be available only while stocks last, which would make it a limited release rather than a core part of the Pixel Watch 5 line-up.
The collaboration would extend Google’s relationship with Curry, following a themed Fitbit Air release that used similar colours and branding. Google’s own store listing for that Fitbit band describes it as water-resistant and moisture-wicking, while third-party reviews have praised the Curry edition’s comfort and stability compared with the other straps. Together, those signs suggest Google sees athlete-led accessories as a way to add appeal to otherwise incremental wearable updates.
