The HMD Rubber 1 could arrive with a 2-megapixel camera sensor, according to an X post by

Whether the rumoured camera on the HMD Rubber 1 will be used for any other functionalities other than capturing images is yet unknown. Notably, a recent report suggested that Apple may eventually bring a smartwatch with a camera to enhance Visual Intelligence capacities.
As per the tipster, the HMD Rubber 1 could get a 1.85-inch OLED display and run on WearOS. Connectivity options for the watch may include Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi, and NFC.
