The Google Pixel Watch 5 is set to launch on August 20, with a special Stephen Curry edition joining the lineup. This collaboration between Google and the NBA star is a strategic move, leveraging Curry's influence to create a unique, limited-edition product. The watch itself is essentially the standard Pixel Watch 5, but with an exclusive woven loop band in stone gray and taupe, featuring strong orange accents reminiscent of the Stephen Curry Fitbit Air. The 45mm version, adorned with the Curry-inspired band, carries a Stephen Curry and #LockIn label, making it a stylish accessory for fans. The band is also water-repellent, catering to those who enjoy an active lifestyle. Despite the special edition's limited availability and not being offered in all markets, Google hasn't hiked up the price significantly. The Stephen Curry variant is priced at $669/€579, which is a modest $35/€30 more than the regular Pixel Watch. This pricing strategy suggests that Google is aiming to create a collectible item without alienating its broader customer base. The partnership with Curry is a strategic move, leveraging his popularity to create a unique, limited-edition product that will appeal to both tech enthusiasts and sports fans alike. It's a smart move that could generate buzz and sales, especially among Curry's dedicated fan base.
