Meta, which has strengthened its place in the smart glasses market, is now preparing to launch a smartwatch. According to the latest reports, the company’s first smartwatch may be launched this year. This will give direct competition to Apple Watch, which remains quite popular in the premium segment. Let us tell you that Meta’s smartwatch has been awaited for the last several years and now it seems that the company will finally enter this segment in 2026.

Malibu 2 project may return

Nothing has been said about this yet from Meta, but people associated with this development say that the company can bring back the Malibu 2 project, which was stopped four years ago. The only information available so far is that it could be a health tracker, which will be launched with a built-in Meta AI assistant. Built-in camera can also be provided in it. It is being said in some reports that Meta’s smartwatch can come with a detachable form factor, so that it can be integrated with other devices of Meta also.

Did work on this start again because of AI boom?

Meta had stopped work on smartwatches about 4 years ago for cost-cutting. Now due to AI boom, many products including smartwatches can be seen in the market. It is being speculated that Meta’s smartwatch will work with the company’s Meta Ray-Ban Display smart glasses. These smart glasses have become superhit and the company is not able to meet their demand. Due to this, Meta has canceled the plan to launch it in Canada, UK, France and Italy etc. At present the company wants to fulfill the orders of America.
