So, an ankle monitor for your wrist.
I’m over Facebook. I wish the whole company would implode.
Please relegate this to www.metarumors.com please. Cancel Facebook and Meta Zuckerberg.
When you know that a company’s main objective is to obtain and sell your data it makes wearing their product on your wrist - with a camera and who knows how many other biometrics included - a little less appealing.
It’ll probably be priced really low. They could take a loss on the costs for hardware, they’ll make up for it in the end by having more data on people who wear it.

Probably for almost free.
Facebook already partnered with carriers in my country to provide free access to Facebook site without using any internet quota. The result is a cesspool of hoaxes and fake news in a society that thinks Facebook to be the "internet". Our government had asked Facebook numerous times to assist in curbing the billions of fake accounts spreading hoaxes, but Facebook is barely responsive. They are truly the worst.
It would be nice if Meta released a decent Apple Watch app for Instagram and Facebook, but I guess the screen is too small to monetize with ads.
They're rounding it wrong.
And they KNOW so many [young] people will buy this (or their parents will) without a second thought. It will be a status symbol in schools.

Yeah, just what people want facebook with a camera and microphone perpetually on. What a stupid company. Anyone with an account shoud immediately deactivate and figure out how to migrate their WhatsApp and instagram. Instagram is dying like facebook anyway
You forgot the Facebook Phone! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_First
What the wikipedia page doesn't mention is that the battery life sucked and when HTC was confronted about it. They mentioned the OS was constantly pinging the FB servers AKA it was tracking your every move!
LeBron James plays basketball, acts in Hollywood movies, and designs shoes for Nike.
Are you suggesting Facebook employees can only do web stuff?
Meta: Mark Zuckerberg announces Facebook’s new name – video
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the social media giant will change the name of its holding company to Meta, in a rebrand that comes as the company faces a series of public relations crises
Video calling on your wrist sounds like an ergonomic nightmare. Raise your arm and stare at your watch. See how your arm feels after just 30 seconds.
Well lucky for you this is nothing to do with Facebook. This is Meta. Meta on your wrist. Not Facebook. Please forget the connection. Its been hours.
Oooh. I bet it comes with software you put on your phone and pc that effectively counteracts any privacy features/limits so they can track the :bleep: out of you again.
Hmm… I am not very religious in any way, but am fascinated by myths/legends/prophecies. This, combined with the stupid sunglasses is some very Revelation 13:16 stuff.
