- Meta is supposed to develop a new smartwatch
- It could have a camera but be light on the health characteristics
- We could see it in Meta Connect later this year
The meta relationship at the same time with intelligent watches could be back on an increase, because there are reports that it will publish a new wrist technology at Meta Connect 2025, which will take place from September 17 to 18.
It is according to Digitimes (behind a paid wall), who claim that Meta is associated with Chinese manufacturers to give life to his last iteration of Smartwatch.
The device, however, may not be as healthy as competition as competition, such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 or Apple Watch 10. Instead, Meta, perhaps without surprise, could focus on XR technologies.
Its watch would apparently incorporate any camera, and could complete Meta’s smart glasses, including its very common pair, which would have a screen for the first time. It seems that it could be an improved version of bracelet meta-ears that the testers used to control these glasses.
However, it is not clear if the SmartWatch watch, according to rumors, would improve Meta’s best smart glasses, such as Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta HSTN specifications.
Light on details
As with all leaks, we have to take these details with a pinch of salt. However, Meta continued its development of EMG technology based on wrist, and it is therefore not outside the field of the possibility that it wishes to develop something more sophisticated using its research.
In addition, as I alluded earlier, it would hardly be the first smartwatch leak that we heard from the company, although certain rumors are linked to its cancellation and its subsequent renewal, which suggests that certain details previously cleared are no longer excited.
Even if a Meta watch is on the way, many questions remain with regard to its cost, its battery life, its specifications, its affordability and its release date. Even if the device is part of the opening opening of Meta 2025 Connect, it could well be a teaser of what will come rather than a concrete promise of a gadget that will come out soon.
However, I am interested in seeing what Meta can build.
I always prefer that the device served as a complement to its intelligent glasses, a bit like the intelligent watches existing with phones, rather than a more autonomous device, which seems to be on the cards. But if he can integrate health, fitness and hand monitoring tools, I am good so that it also includes an interesting camera and metavese tools, provided that the cost is not uncontrollable.
We will just have to wait and see what he highlights when Meta is ready to finally make this portable official very cumulative.
