Google patents a fitness tracker design that might come without a display

According to a few reports, American multinational technology company, Google, has filed for a patent for a design for a fitness tracker. This design patent was filed with the United States Patents and Trademarks Office (USPTO). The sketched present in the documentation submitted shows it as a “wristband for tracking fitness”. 

In November of 2019, Google made an announcement that they are interested in acquiring Fitbit. The deal was worth around to be $2.1 billion. Even after one long year, this acquisition is yet to be completed. Yet, Google has gone ahead and filed a patent for a similar product.

The sketches reveal that there is no screen attached to this fitness tracker. Have you seen a similar fitness tracker without a screen before? Yes! Amazon Halo. The users of this supposed Google’s new fitness tracker will have to rely on their connected smartphone to monitor all of their health activities and get the readings.

One cannot just look at the fitness tracker and collect the insights. Another point to note is that it looks like a tracker is attached to the wearable’s strap itself. If this happens to be true, customers will have no option but to buy a new piece altogether if they want a different colour. We speculate that google might introduce some kind of ‘Ok Google’ feature which can help us connect with the smartphone easily. By the looks, this fitness tracker might consist of a seamless finish up front and ridges at the back of the strap. Since there are pogo pins near a sensor that cannot be detached from the strap, we think it might use a magnetic charger.

Can this be Google’s first-ever fitness band? Needless to mention like always, filing a design patent does not mean that the product can consumer-ready very soon. There is a high probability that these products does not even hit the market ever.
