Learn more about your users by tracking them when they sleep.
Google is already on board with the Fitbit acquisition and Wear OS.
It’s called Facebook Watch because it constantly watches you. https://t.co/DPLy4VrVfn

I wear an Apple one literally everywhere I go. So probably. But it does feel...different.

According to this report, Facebook is building a smartwatch it hopes to start selling next year.

It’ll conveniently track your health data too...because the one thing Facebook doesn’t have yet is your heartbeat (and the wearables market) https://t.co/YZUbybseK7
Let's stop fucking around and just go straight to chip implant

Be as it maybe, the company has zero trust and sharing personal health issue with a known abuser of average humans is going to be a challenge. The WhatsApp debacle showed how suspicious even average humans not the media and “haters like me” have become of this company.

This puts the whole FB v Apple fight into greater focus. Like this comment from Zuck last month: “We increasingly see Apple as one of our biggest competitors."https://t.co/cmOXWhXua3 https://t.co/KlJoB0cUph

NEW: Facebook is building a smartwatch that it hopes to ship next year.
— Alex Heath (@alexeheath) February 12, 2021
The device is focused on messaging and health/fitness related features. It will open up yet another avenue of competition with Apple. Story with @waynema: https://t.co/ihs4ilOved
Looking forward 2 letting Facebook track my every heart beat https://t.co/MGuiuGH3uu

Okay, but where’s the ‘competition’? Apple’s best feature is privacy. I’d love to see some competition in that space. https://t.co/65hb71k31R

This is pivotal moment.

People will think this is Apple copycat.
It's not.
It's much bigger.
It's a move to the UX of the future. https://t.co/42jyrABlH5

NFW. You can’t be attacking Apple to try to stop them from improving tracking prevention -and also- try to sell a smart watch that is attached to our bodies. DOA. https://t.co/j8txpLQMJd

FB Employee: you mean that don't work for Facebook?
Mark: yeah
FB E: Like 100
Mark: 100 million! Excellent! Let's make a watch!
FB E: no like 100 people.
Mark: (walking off to slather his face in sunscreen) 100 million! I can't lose! https://t.co/ps678PSF3U
