From my understanding, smart watches are still not a mass market device yet. Not everyone feels the need to have one. ( I am not counting step tracker bands made by the likes of FitBit or Xiaomi as they aren't "smart").
So people who would be buying it now are going to be depending on word of mouth or professional reviews. And currently, Facebook isn't really a beloved company and neither do they have a track record of making devices apart from Portal (like Apple, Samsung etc which are very much into the business of making devices).
If say, smartwatches were a must have device like smartphones are right now, people might not care as much about privacy. This can be evidenced by the fact that most smartphones are mainly tools to track your information but people have been buying them in droves for more than a decade now.And it was only recently, Apple and Google have been making strides towards keeping your data private.
