This is What Facebook's Upcoming Smart Watch Looks Like

Hmmm, looks just like a Fitbit versa!? I suppose the Apple influence is the 'infinite loop' just like their logo... It's what happens when you look at the camera-loaded Facebook watch with your camera-loaded Facebook Ray-Bans and the meta-universe implodes ?

But the difference to me is Google, like Apple, has been overwhelmingly successful in that diversification and, ultimately, building a cohesive ecosystem of products and services, killing off stuff if it doesn’t ‘work’ for them, despite good (Google Reader) or bad (Ping) public perception. FB might be trying to play catch up on this now but between watches and 2nd gen video cams and Ray Ban partnerships, I’m not seeing a positive future ecosystem from them. And their attempts — like forcing a a FB account for Oculus — have been so ass backwards that they ruin any goodwill that they’ve e̶a̶r̶n̶e̶d̶ bought.

Only reason I can think of this insane idea is 3rd party hardware will cut monitoring really bad…

I don't.

They have seen what their company is truly is like and they keep taking their weekly paycheck instead of being ethical, decent, human beings.

F all the facebook employees that have not given notice after the past few weeks of news.

In the real world, sometimes ethics has to be balanced against providing for your family.

You're better off wrapping your wrists in razor wire.

I want to see this fail (along with Facebook), so badly.

LOL! Is that a camera on the front of it? I wonder what that's for.... ?:oops:
You need brand trust for wearables.
That's something that Facebook doesn't have and certainly won't get by changing its name to Meta.
It's like they're asking people to pay for a wrist version of an ankle monitor.

I see a multiple good use for that camera

1)
Well, every men needs a tool for upskirt pictures, I guess.

2)
Full time spying on a watch owner, because fartbook doesn’t have enough data on us all, just yet.

Was Zuck such a lizard from the start, or did he got mad drunk on power and money? He honestly looks like he would sell his own mother for a stack of cash.

I wish Telegram or iMessage had more social integration, with privacy in mind.
 
No to this just as much as the Oculus, now if I could only get off of Instagram I could be done with this hack
 
A perv cam on your wrist, no thanks, that's why android watches stopped putting cameras on thier watches as they were creepy ...... no ... wait ... facebook = creepy = perv cam on new watch!

Ok gotcha!
 
Welcome to "Hal", the watch with a red eye for a camera, watching every move you make, Dave. You thought you killed me in the movie 2001. I'm BACK.

Data mining by Meta at no extra charge.
 
Here this will not get traction , but if they will follow their oculus plan , where they sell the hardware at a loss or near loss to gain market share , they will make strides into the smart watch market , ppl
Underestimate how much ppl love cheap/free things

Hey there!
Yes you.
This is your FaceWatch talking.
Could you please remove that mask?
It is interfering with our data tracking, errrrr I mean preventing you from getting the full FaceWatch experience!
 
I don’t really like the idea of wearables, I think we already have too many devices vying for our attention in the day, too much screen time etc - So I don’t own an Apple Watch, but the thought of a Facebook powered Wearable, never oh god no, awful.
