Not sure I would trust a Facebook watch. Having them know a lot of health information is not something I would consider.

Facebook is secretly building a smartwatch and planning to sell it next year

A smartwatch to join Oculus and Portal devices.

I think it will be a tough sell for many. Privacy concerns would be great.

Will fail just like the Facebook phone.

A facebook smartwatch is not appealing in ANY way. I am sure facebook will be selling health data sold to insurance companies.

Facebook has 2.8 billion users. Even if less than 1% of the users buy this that is multi million units sold.

My prediction is that it will be a big flop if it ever gets off the ground.

"Secretly" building yet plastered all over the internet.
