Meta to Revive Smartwatch with AI and Cameras in 2025
Meta is working on a new smartwatch!
The company, which also makes VR headsets and smart glasses, is planning a watch with cameras that could come out in September 2025.
It was originally worked on in 2021 but stopped because of problems.
The new watch is expected to have cameras that let you interact with the world in new ways, like seeing things in real-time.
Meta wants to make AI wearables, and this watch would be one of them.
A company called Huaqin Technology will make the watch.
Meta is reportedly reviving its smartwatch project, potentially launching in September 2025.
The smartwatch, initially codenamed "Milan," was discontinued in 2022 due to hardware limitations.
The new smartwatch is expected to heavily integrate cameras for real-time interaction and spatial awareness.
Huaqin Technology is the primary production partner for the new wearable.
The device could be part of Meta’s larger AI-driven wearable push.
