TL;DR
- Meta has reportedly revived “Malibu 2,” a shelved smartwatch project expected to launch this year
- The new watch will feature health tracking and integrated Meta AI assistant capabilities.
- Alongside Malibu 2, Meta is planning updates for Ray-Ban Display glasses (codenamed “Hypernova 2”) and the upcoming AR glasses (codenamed “Artemis”), which are set for release in 2027.
The wearables space has always been hotly contested, but Meta’s recent success with the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses has prompted even companies like Apple to build their own glasses. The inspiration goes both ways, though, as reports now suggest that Meta has revived its plans to build a smartwatch that would compete with the likes of the Apple Watch, Samsung Galaxy Watch, and Google Pixel Watch for space on your wrist.
