A new era of Wear OS smartwatches is on the horizon with the launch of a camera-equipped wearable. Two models, Rubber 1 and Rubber 1S, are expected to debut soon with standout features.
First-Ever Wear OS Smartwatch With Built-In Camera Set to Launch: Key Features and Specs
A major leap in smartwatch innovation is about to unfold as a new company gears up to release its first Wear OS-powered smartwatches, with one model expected to feature a built-in front camera—a first for any Wear OS device.
The upcoming smartwatches, known by their model names Rubber 1 and Rubber 1S, will introduce exciting hardware and software integrations aimed at elevating the user experience.
Rubber 1: The First Wear OS Smartwatch With a Front Camera
The Rubber 1 is expected to debut with a 2MP front-facing camera, integrated directly into the watch’s design. While smartwatches with cameras exist in the kids' category, this would be the first to run on Google's Wear OS, bringing full access to official services like the Google Play Store, potentially enabling video calling, photo apps, and more.
This innovation could pave the way for new use-cases, particularly for children or users looking for a portable, wrist-based communication device.
Focused on Safety and Smart Connectivity
The camera addition, combined with possible cellular connectivity, hints that the smartwatch may be aimed at younger users, offering features like video calling, safety alerts, and health monitoring. It can serve as a powerful tool for keeping children connected to guardians, especially when a smartphone isn't accessible.
