Meta works on his own smart watch

Shortly after Facebook announced the change of its name to “Meta”, news began to appear about the preparation of smart watches. This may seem like a very strange fact to many, but the Phandroid website has published interesting information and confirms that Meta’s entry into the smart watch market will probably be a reality.

Meta smart watches will be unique. I will offer a camera for video calls

There is only one sample image of a smart watch. However, he does reveal quite a lot about them. At first glance, the cut-out for a webcam is definitely most interesting. She found her location in the middle of the bottom of the screen. There is a hardware button on the right side of the watch, which will probably be used to navigate the system.

By the way, this image was found in the code of one Facebook application for iPhone. The design may be somewhat reminiscent of the popular Apple Watch or a Fitbit model. The edges are rounded and the bracelet can be replaced with another. Meta is said to add features to monitor health, sports activity or heart rate. You can see the thickness of the frames around the display in the picture.

It is currently unknown what system will run on the smart watch. The source code suggests that they should be compatible with both Android and iOS. We don’t know much about the specifications of a video call camera, but we believe that it will be more than sufficient for its primary purpose.

We’ll see if anyone is interested in them, mainly because Meta (then Facebook) has been the subject of many user privacy scandals in the past. The watch should be available in early 2022. We will see if the project will be successful. In addition to software development, Meta also strives to produce hardware. It is also worth mentioning the recent work in cooperation with the Ray-Ban brand.
