Google launched the Pixel Watch 3 series last month with some notable upgrades. The lineup adheres to a conservative design line, which is good news as the dome-like appearance of Google’s smartwatches is already quite recognizable and unique in the industry. Of course, there’s also a wide selection of straps or bands to customize your watch. Now, Bellroy has released a stylish leather Pixel Watch Strap that will probably catch your eye.
Bellroy is a third-party accessory brand that typically offers products for all Pixel devices. Google even offers Bellroy cases directly on the Google Store, so they seem to have a close relationship. In line with that, Bellroy claims that it has “worked closely with Google’s designers” to develop the new Pixel Watch Strap.
This is Bellroy’s new Pixel Watch Strap made of fine leather
The brand states that they “designed the strap to complement the curves of the Pixel Watch 3.” However, if you’re not aware, the 41mm Pixel Watch 3’s straps are backward compatible with the Pixel Watch 2 and 1. The accessory was crafted from Leather Working Group-certified leather (18%) and flexible polymer (75%), which boasts durability. The use of these materials will create a patina over time, which is a sort of “hallmark” of high-quality leather. It will result in that classic “worn-in” look found in fine leather accessories and apparel.
A textured rear helps prevent sweat build-up
The new Bellroy’s Pixel Watch Strap features a textured rear to prevent sweat from accumulating on the wrist. This is especially important for people with skin sensitive to moisture buildup under the watch strap.
The new Bellroy’s Pixel Watch Strap is available for pre-order for $69 on the company’s official website. Interested parties can purchase it in “Terracotta” (brown) and black colorways. Of course, it is available for both sizes of the Pixel Watch 3. Lastly, it is not known if it will arrive in the Google Store in the future.
