Meta Plans to Launch Smartwatch With Camera as Competitor to Apple Watch, Leaked Photo Shows

Meta Platforms, a company formerly known as Facebook, is developing a smart watch with a front camera and a round screen, based on device images found in an iPhone app by the tech giant. This photo shows a watch with slightly curved edges on the screen and case.

The front camera-similar to what you see on a smartphone-appears at the bottom of the display, with a watch control button on the right. The image was found in an application that the company used to control the new smart glasses launched in collaboration with Ray-Ban. The image was found by app developer Steve Moser and shared with Bloomberg News. A Meta spokesperson declined to comment.

The watch has a detachable wrist strap, and there appears to be a button on the top of the case. Its large display mimics the style of the Apple Watch—rather than the more basic fitness trackers sold by Google’s Fitbit and Garmin. The camera indicates that the product may be used for video conferencing, and this feature will make Meta’s equipment stand out. Apple’s smart watches do not have cameras, nor do competitors’ products such as Samsung.

According to people familiar with the matter, Facebook plans to launch its first watch as early as 2022, but has not yet made a final decision on the timing, and the debut may be later. The person said that the company is developing three generations of products for different release time frames.

The device in the image may ultimately represent a version that has never been released, but it is the first evidence of the company’s work on the project. The Verge previously reported on Facebook’s watch plans, saying that these devices may also include heart rate monitors.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
