Meta Platforms, the company formerly known as Facebook, is developing a smartwatch with a front-facing camera and rounded screen, according to an image of the device found inside one of the tech giant’s iPhone apps. The photo shows a watch with a screen and casing that’s slightly curved at the edges. The front-facing camera — similar to what you’d see on a smartphone — appears at the bottom of the display, and there’s a control button for the watch on the right side. The image was found inside of the company’s app for controlling its new smart glasses launched in partnership with Ray-Ban. The picture was located by app developer Steve Moser and shared with Bloomberg News. A Meta spokeswoman declined to comment. The watch has a detachable wrist strap and what appears to be a button at the top of the watch case. Its large display mimics the style of Apple’s watch — rather than the more basic fitness trackers sold by Google’s Fitbit and Garmin.
