Leaked photo of Facebook’s Meta smartwatch shows camera notch

Meta — that is, the company formerly known as Facebook — may be developing a smartwatch that can take prints and vids. Bloomberg has published an image showing a smartwatch with rounded corners analogous to the Apple Watch, except it also has a notch with a front- facing camera. App inventor Steve Moser plant the image inside the company’s app used to control its Ray-Ban Stories AR sunglasses, intimating that it could also be used to control the watch in the future.

In addition to having rounded corners and a camera, the smartwatch appears to have a pristine sword covering and divisible strips. Moser also says that the law inside the app indicates that the watch could be called Milan and that it could allow for the prints and vids you captured with it to be downloaded on a phone.

According to Bloomberg, Meta is hoping to launch a smartwatch as early as 2022, but nothing has been perfected yet. Further, Facebook’s parent company is reportedly formerly working on three generations of product that will be released at different times. It’s not clear if the device shown in the image is one of those, or if it’ll indeed be released at all. The Verge also reported before this time, however, that Facebook is working on a smartwatch with a front- facing and a 1080p hinder camera with autofocus. It could have a heart rate examiner and LTE connectivity, as well, though those features could be distributed across the three different models.
