Facebook’s first-ever smartwatch will reportedly have two cameras and roll out next summer

Sources told The Verge Facebook has spent $1 billion on a smartwatch since 2019.

The product will have two cameras that can detach from the wrist to take photos and videos, the report said.

Such a product would put Facebook head-to-head with Apple, which dominates the smartwatch market.

Facebook is planning on rolling out its first-ever smartwatch in summer 2022, according to a Wednesday report from The Verge’s Alex Heath.

The Information reported in February that Facebook was working on such an item, but Wednesday’s report sheds more light on the future project.

The watch will have a display and two cameras that can be detached to take photos and video just like you would on a smartphone or GoPro camera. The content could then be shared on Facebook and Instagram, as well as other apps owned by the company. Facebook employees have said the watch could cost around $400, according to The Verge, but that price tag could change.

Sources told the outlet that Facebook has spent about $1 billion to develop the first iteration of the smartwatch since 2019.

Facebook declined to comment.
