The Meta smartwatch, a challenger to the Apple Watch with two built-in cameras and cool technology that turns nerve signals into digital commands, has been scrubbed.
Almost exactly a year ago to the day, we told you that Facebook had invested nearly a billion dollars to develop a smartwatch that would be released in the Summer of 2022. Said to be made of stainless steel, the expected price of $400 indicated that the device would be made to compete against the Apple Watch. A modular design would allow the display to be detachable and dual cameras would allow users to send photos to Facebook or Instagram.
This technology, known as electromyography, is at the top of Meta's to-do list. The company has promoted the use of electromyography as a way to use a person's hands as a"controller." Meta says that"This is about decoding those signals at the wrist — the actions you’ve already decided to perform — and translating them into digital commands for your device."The watch would also track users' activities, play music, and engage in messaging.
Employees working on the watch, codenamed Milan, were reportedly told that the development of the watch has been halted. The timepiece was supposedly going to be released next spring for $349.A removable watch face with a gold-colored casing. There are two buttons on the side, one a long pill-shaped button and the other a small circular one.

While the watch had no app store, users would be able to manage apps through their Facebook account and some details of the user's activities would have been sent to Facebook using the timepiece. The watch was being developed by Meta's Reality Labs, the part of the company building the metaverse.
