The mystery of the Pixel Watch 3’s Performance Loop Band may nearly be over

[phillynews215]

• Multiple retailers are getting ready for Google’s Performance Loop Band for the Pixel Watch 3.
• So far, it’s been spotted in Canada on Best Buy’s and Amazon’s sites, but shows as out of stock.
• Earlier rumors pointed to a potential October release.

Who doesn’t love a good mystery? Google’s latest smartwatch, the Pixel Watch 3, is out and ready for you to take home, but the same can’t be said for all of its official accessories. Right after the Watch 3 itself debuted, a mysterious “Performance Loop Band” briefly surfaced on Amazon before the listing was pulled — and we’ve been waiting for it ever since. And while it’s still not here, some recent developments suggest that Google may finally be getting around to releasing it.

Our first tease of this band arrived in the lead-up to last month’s Made By Google event, when a leak attempted to detail all the official watch bands debuting with the Pixel Watch 3. And indeed, that source suggested that the Performance Loop Band in particular would not have immediate availability, and could be delayed until sometime around the end of October.
