Facebook could attack Apple Watch with its own smartwatch

Facebook’s forays into hardware are still limited, but the tech giant is ramping up. The Menlo Park firm was currently working on its very first connected watch, thinks the site “The Information” which specifies that the development would be ” very advanced ”And that this smartwatch could be marketed as early as next year.

Like the Apple Watch, this model should be particularly oriented towards health with multiple functionalities making it possible to measure physical activity (number of steps taken per day, calories burned, etc.) using on-board sensors. This “Facebook Watch” should also allow users to connect directly to various fitness services such as Peloton, the “Netflix for connected cycling”.
