Facebook continues on the path of hardware products, so it made the decision to develop a smartwatch to compete with the Apple Watch, something that is not easy to achieve, but which could bring serious benefits for the American company in the not too distant future.
Facebook makes this smartwatch based on Google's Wear OS operating system, and wants to implement the same functions that we know from so many smart watches, from those for health monitoring to those for fitness.
Facebook is also developing its own operating system for future hardware products, but for now it is not quite ready to be offered publicly, so for now it uses what Google has created for users all over the world.
Facebook is building a smartwatch it hopes to sell next year, according to people with direct knowledge of the device. The watch will allow users to send messages using Facebook services and also offer health and fitness features, according to four of the people.
Facebook's planned foray into smartwatches would further boost the company toward CEO Mark Zuckerberg's goal of controlling the next computing platform after smartphones."
