The Pixel Watch Performance Loop Band is the newest way to enhance Google’s smartwatch

Google introduced the Pixel Watch 3 at its Made by Google event on August 13. Alongside the watch, it unveiled several new watch bands, including the Performance Loop Band, meant for individuals with an active lifestyle. Despite being teased in August, the band never went up for sale on the Google Store. Nearly 3.5 months later, Google is making amends and finally selling the Performance Loop Band.

Made from recycled polyester, nylon, and elastane yarns, the new Pixel Watch band uses a loop sizing system with a micro-adjustable hook and stainless steel lugs.

Google markets the Performance Loop Band as “your new run buddy,” highlighting how it’s “micro-adjustable for the perfect fit and just the right amount of stretch during workouts.”

You can get the band in 41mm or 45mm sizes in the following variations:

Do note that some colors are only available in 45mm size on the Google Store right now.

The band first appeared on Amazon and Best Buy in Canada in September, but never actually went on sale.

The Performance Loop Band is compatible with all Pixel Watch models

You don’t necessarily need a Pixel Watch 3 to use the Performance Loop Band, as it is also compatible with the previous two generations of the wearable. Just make sure to get the right size (41mm).

At $60, the Pixel Watch Performance Loop Band is on the expensive side. Still, this is a better buy than the Pixel Watch Stretch Band, which also costs the same.

You can likely get a third-party band for less, but Google’s solution is the best if you want top-notch fit and finish.
