Facebook Is Reportedly Developing Its Own Smartwatch

When it comes to hardware, Facebook has admittedly fallen short many times.

An Apple Watch With Flat Sides Actually Looks Pretty Good

When Apple was first rumored to launch a smartwatch, many had expected the company to go with a more traditional watch design with a circular face, but instead the company opted for a square face with rounded edges and corners.
