@smashx_60<\/a> reports that HMD Global is working on two Wear OS watches, the Rubber 1 and Rubber 1S. There\u2019s no word on the specific version of Wear OS, but the Rubber 1 has our attention due to its 2MP camera.<\/p>\nThere\u2019s no word on how this camera would be used, but I remember using the Samsung Galaxy Gear in the mid-2010s. This watch offered an outward-facing camera to take low-quality photos of your surroundings. However, HMD could theoretically opt for a camera in the watch face or bezel to facilitate video calls.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, the two smartwatches share a number of features. This includes apparent USB-C and wireless charging capabilities, 5ATM water resistance, Wi-Fi, and heart rate\/SpO2 tracking.<\/p>\n
Would you buy a smartwatch with a camera?<\/p>\n

Maybe, I’ll wait and see<\/p>\n

The Rubber 1 is clearly positioned as the more premium smartwatch, though. It\u2019s tipped to offer the aforementioned camera, Bluetooth 5.3, NFC, a 400mAh battery, and a 1.85-inch OLED screen. Meanwhile, the Rubber 1S misses NFC but offers Bluetooth 5.0, a 290mAh battery, and a 1.07-inch OLED display.<\/p>\n
In any event, a camera-equipped smartwatch would certainly be a unique proposition in the Wear OS landscape. So we\u2019re definitely keen to hear more about it.<\/p>\n
