The craze for Wearable Devices is growing every day in the world of technology, and now Meta Platforms is once again ready to join this race. According to reports, Meta may launch its new smartwatch in September 2025, which will not only be a smartwatch but also offer a glimpse into the future with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and built-in camera technology. Meta's watch may be introduced alongside the Meta AI Glass, potentially marking the rise of a new technological pairing.
Meta Smartwatch
Meta started the smartwatch project in 2021, and at that time its codename was 'Milan'. It was expected that the company was working on a device with a curved screen, built-in camera and advanced features. But in 2022, the project was postponed due to technical challenges. According to reports, Meta has reactivated its dual-camera smartwatch project, and it is likely to be presented at the Meta Connect 2025 event to be held between September 17-18.
What will be special about Meta's new smartwatch?
The dual camera setup is a key feature that will make Meta's new smartwatch special. According to reports, this watch may include a front-facing camera and a rear camera, which will set it apart from the Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch. The earlier prototype featured a 5-megapixel front camera and a 10-megapixel rear camera. In addition, the device showed a golden metal finish, two side buttons and camera placement below the display. This watch has been designed by Meta Reality Labs, and China's HuaQin Technology has been given the responsibility of manufacturing it.
A new smart accessory with AI capabilities
Meta's smartwatch will not be limited to fitness tracking and notifications, but its camera features and AI capabilities could turn it into a highly intelligent device. It is speculated that this watch will integrate with Meta AI Glass, allowing users to use real-time visual data processing, image capture, and AI-based voice or gesture control with the help of the camera.
Why was Project 'Milan' stopped?
When Meta closed this project in 2022, the reason was — technical obstacles. Especially the second camera, which was clashing with the company's in-development neural interface technology (which involved taking signals from the wrist to create digital commands). This technology allowed the wearer to control the device with just hand movements and nerve signals. But the camera module created an obstacle in this, due to which Meta had to postpone this device at that time.
Will it launch in September?
Although reports claim that this smartwatch can be launched at the Meta Connect event, some reports are also expressing doubts about it. It is being said that it is not yet clear whether the device is fully ready for launch or will only be presented as a demo. However, looking at Meta's history, it can be said that the company definitely announces such products on big platforms, which reflect the technology of the future.
A perfect pair with Meta AI Glass?
If the smartwatch and Meta AI Glass are launched together, this pair will indicate a new direction for Meta's Metaverse and AI ecosystem. Both devices can connect with each other to provide users with features such as real-time interaction, voice assistance, AI navigation, and camera vision. This may not just be a new device, but the beginning of a new digital experience.
Meta's dual-camera smartwatch, if launched, could open a new chapter in wearable technology. With AI integration and camera features, this device may be able to provide users with a smart and interactive experience.
