Facebook plans to launch its own smartwatches with a focus on fitness and messaging in 2022.

According to sources close to the company's developers, Facebook intends to become a direct competitor to Apple in the future in the production of smart smartwatches. Given the large user base, we can hope for the success of the social giant in this regard.

Negotiations between Google and Facebook on cooperation in creating authentic wearable electronics rafiqsonsonline.com/product-category/smart-watches/ began about 3 years ago. It was then that Google actively began to increase the capacity of the smart electronics segment by purchasing small companies producing consumables and startups offering interesting technological solutions.

So far, it is known that the smartwatch from Facebook will use the open source version of Google's Android software and include its own cellular connection, meaning that owners will not need to rely on a smartphone to access the Internet.

Facebook Watch will focus heavily on instant messaging capabilities through Messenger and other Facebook platforms. The social giant is also planning several health-tracking features and a range of fitness features. In this sense, users can still expect functionality close to the fitness tracker segment . Although this watch model rafiqsonsonline.com/product-category/omax-watches/ will clearly implement the ability to track workouts and connect to Peloton services and a number of others.

The Facebook watch, which will rival the best smartwatches from Apple and Fitbit, is slated to launch in 2022, with a full-featured version slated to hit the market in 2023. We don't know how much it will cost yet, but the company will reportedly price the device at near cost to manufacture.

As far as the operating system is concerned, there is no reason to expect anything extraordinary here either. Most likely, it will be Google's ubiquitous Wear OS, but with limited functionality. Limited in the sense that if Facebook decides to deploy it in full, it will greatly affect the price of smartwatches.

And here it should be borne in mind that Facebook is more interested in collecting valuable user data that can be used in future services than in making a profit from the sale of its new device.

In appearance, a watch from a social giant may resemble a small fitness tracker with a color screen with support for displaying user messages and feed, notifications about important events, information from news blocks and podcasts. In addition, many users would like to be able to share interesting events with other users and reply to a message directly from the clock.
Most likely, Facebook Watch will also have a well-implemented function of interacting with other users, the ability to create group chats and various challenges.

Whether the Facebook smartwatch will succeed remains to be seen. Time will tell, especially when you consider that Facebook has repeatedly found itself at the center of scandals in the wake of user data leakage.

Despite this, however, most users are not yet ready to quit leading social networks. Moreover, Facebook, like no other social network, is user-oriented. We dare to hope that smartwatches from Facebook will be focused on the needs of users to the same extent.
