The Android Authority, which is interested in the latest Android business, said that Facebook is working on producing a smart watch that can allow users to send messages through its services, and provides health and fitness features.
The site mentions that the smart watch will be launched in the market next year, but Facebook has not shared any information about it yet.
According to a report by The Information, the watch is based on the Android operating system, however, it is unclear whether it will run on Google's Wear OS.
The report adds that what distinguishes this watch is that it allows users to send messages using Facebook services, such as WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram.
The watch comes with the possibility of cellular connectivity, and it is reported that Facebook is developing its own operating system, which it will use in the future to operate its devices. The watch is part of Facebook's growing market for electronic devices, which includes virtual reality headsets, video calling devices and smart glasses.
Facebook announced, during the "Facebook Connect" conference in September 2020, the electronic products it is developing, including virtual and augmented reality glasses, smart glasses that rely on live maps, instant interactions with the surroundings, and smart glass, and "place awareness" sensors.
