The reports have mentioned that the OS will be of Google Wear but Facebook is planning to build their own operating systems for their devices. A similar approach to Google’s main competitor, Apple. The Smartwatch of Facebook will have functions/features such as messaging, health, and fitness. 

The smartwatch will be integrated with Oculus Virtual Reality headsets and Portal Video Chat devices. On another note, Facebook is also working on Ray-ban Smart glasses which will be released later this year. In addition to that an augmented reality project known as Project Aria.
