Google’s gearing up to expand your Pixel Watch’s wardrobe with a fresh, sporty twist. The new “Performance Loop” band, tailored for fitness enthusiasts, has been making waves with its latest leaks, and we’ve now got a peek at some new color options and pricing clues.
The “Performance Loop” first broke cover back in July, teasing us with just a name before popping up on Amazon after Google’s Pixel Watch 3 announcement. Marketed as “your run buddy,” this strap is all about staying snug during workouts, with a micro-adjustable design and just the right amount of stretch. Made from recycled polyester, nylon, and elastane yarn, and featuring stainless steel lugs, it’s clear this band means business.
Fast forward to now, and the “Performance Loop” has resurfaced on Best Buy and Amazon in Canada, spilling even more details. Best Buy describes it as the perfect blend of style and functionality, made to fit the 41mm and 45mm models of the Pixel Watch 3. And the color options? You’re in for a treat: Dark, Light, Mojito (a lively green), and Cosmic (a playful pink). With such vibrant shades, it’s hard not to draw comparisons to the colorful bands of Fitbit’s Ace LTE kids’ smartwatch — but hey, grown-ups deserve some fun too.
According to Amazon, the band is waterproof, breathable, and available in multiple sizes, although there might be some mix-up with the listing, given the different band types mentioned.
As for the price, brace yourself — it’s showing up at CAD 79.99 in Canada, which might translate to around USD 59.99, following the price pattern of other Pixel Watch bands. So, while there’s no official word from Google on when you can snag one, it’s looking like an affordable, stylish upgrade for your next workout is on the horizon.
Ready to give your Pixel Watch a fitness-focused glow-up? Stay tuned for the official drop.

Tech has been my playground for over a decade. While the Android journey began early, it truly took flight with the revolutionary Lollipop update. Since then, it's been a parade of Android devices (with a sprinkle of iOS), culminating in a mostly happy marriage with Google's smart home ecosystem.
