As someone that used to work in an optical your points about the adjusting and polarized lenses over tinted one are on point. Maybe ppl with higher Rx might be bothered by the extra weight of the frame even with thin lenses. Also, are these waterproof or resistant?
I'm going to wait for this model. The next version should have some type of stabilization and use cameras on both sides to combine the images similar to a 360 camera.

@@iakobkv271 I’m talking memory, longer videos maybe, the resolution is pretty good but it’s a new thing so it will get better and better I believe but then again I could be wrong.
30 second vid clips and then you have to start the vid again. If the concert is only about 20 minutes long and you restart the vid every thirty seconds x 40, good luck.
I have the first-generation Stories; I love them when I am fishing in Costa Rica. You can just touch to turn on and you record exactly what you are seeing. So many times, I thought someone was recording the event to find out that it was just missed. I have so many fantastic memories from different events that were just not obtainable without them. I just wonder if it worth it to upgrade to the new style and options. " Christmas is coming "
Not a fan on my end of the polarized ones at night and indoors, so I picked up the Transitions version…about to open those up, but the hope is that at events and in the evening, I can still rock them to capture content!
I just bought the standard matte black frame + transition too. I think that’s the best colour and frame (I did go through the selection but they have additional price tags). However I can’t find if the clear transition lenses have anti UV on them.
Out in public the bleed is almost non existent. Inside in a quiet environment put the volume at 25% and only you can hear it loud and clear. Outside go about 50-75%. If you're in a VERY noisy environment you're not going to hear that well. My opinion is they should have integrated bone conduction as well as speakers that lets you switch between modes.
Off topic, but are you using a mic in your video? that's the clearest audio quality I've heard in a while. If you are, do you mind telling me what mic it is? I'm looking for a good quality one.
@Matanumi I work in pharmacy and unfortunately we have no music in the store. Now I have background music while I work thanks to these glasses. Plus the AI helps when I have to do math and I'm too lazy to grab a calculator 🤣
Do they still come in clear lenses (or slightly tinted) if you add transition and prescription? The website doesn’t say they would still turn clear when not exposed in sunlight?
Tech Fowler, I normally do not reply to any RUclips videos, however, I thing you did an honest review of the Rayban Smart sunglasses. I wanted to let you know that I really needed to know about the "portrait /landscape question. Nobody answered that except you! I will wait until 4K and that option becomes available. Also, It appears that all the room may be available in the future =for them also to put a second camera on the left for 3D. I will wait for at least 4K continuoius recording w/ 128GB storage Thanks for your video!! Jerry
I enjoyed your review. I just purchased a pair last night so I'm not super familiar with them. However you do seem more pleased about your glasses than I do. One topic that you didn't touch on very much was the live streaming. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I can't find it anywhere but I see you have to be connected through Wi-Fi to live stream. Well I like to do 5K walk/runs and I wanted to live stream them. Kind of hard to connect to a Wi-Fi if you're out and about on a run course. I can't find a way around this. I even tried to connect my phone's hotspot and it couldn't do that so I tried to connect my hotspot And my Wi-Fi and the app told me I had to shut off my hotspot. If you know a way around this please reply back to this. I really want to keep these glasses but as I see it right now they won't function the way that I want them to. Thank you in advance
I have the first generation and I didn't use them very much at all. My wife however uses them all of the time on our travels. Everyone gets hung up on the video quality, but I think the story of the video is much more important than whether it's 4k or not.
Just got them, amazing stuff but 16:9 and longer record times would make this unbelievably handy. Stable with nice image and video quality. Battery life could be a little better. Pretty sure next iteration will resolve at least 2 out of these 3 !
I love mine. The only complaint is that the battery is not powerful and doesn't last more than 2 hours. The other things are amazing, answer my calls without hands, ready my msgs and take pictures with my voice is awesome. I have to buy some nose grips because I have an oily face, yes I have a prescription, progressive and transition... AWESOME ❤❤❤❤
Just so everyone knows these don't work when you are travelling to a foreign country because Meta only supports these in selected countries. So if you are a traveller these sunglasses and it's features are no good to you .. I learnt it the hard way after buying these in US and have them shipped to India and guess what they don't work
I recently went to a sunglass hut and asked specifically about this. The employee claimed that only the AI feature was restricted the supported countries. Are you saying he's incorrect then? I'm also curious about using a VPN as a workaround if anyone reading has tried for themselves
Question... is it possibly for it to take photos without pressing the button or voice activation, say for instance automatically take photos every 30 seconds or something?
Okay, I need to know. Is the app free? As in, can I get the videos/pictures free off the app without paying more money for the app or the ability to get my recorded videos/pictures?
I’m more of an occasional user, a few photos here and there some music, watch some RUclips videos etc maybe a short call and my glasses are normally still at around 30-40% when I take them off to go to bed. I use prescription lenses so i need to be wearing them at all times
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the AI features. According to Zuck, you can query meta’s Ai engine and ask it to translate a sign or what a landmark is. Anyone know if that feature works?
Wow. These are sick. Too expensive though. Times have changed. That same exact pair of shades that have been around a long time has gone futuristic. Very cool.
Heavily disagree. I've worn glasses my whole life. Most glasses are anywhere from $200 to $500. Many are even more expensive than that and that's with no tech inside at all. Starting at $300 is actually a steal. I've never liked ray bans because I can't justify spending over $100 on sunglasses. But sunglasses that have cameras, speakers, and an AI inside? Absolutely.
@zeromech1450 Yup dude don't know what he's talking about. My current prescription Maui Jim's cost me $1000 polarized. $500 is NOTHING for what's built-in it will literally save me $500 to go smart glasses its a no-brainer.
Just won a pair - pretty amazing - they also translated whatever I was looking at (English/Italian/Spanish/French/German) - was able to answer a math problem I wrote down - v6 update now allows 3min vids 😎
So they still arent recording in 16:9 format. It’s all vertical and Instagram format videos. It’s so weird they won’t unlock it. I can’t buy them . Already have 1st ones. Not going to get second one
I got these to take pov videos of my son ! The audio is fine I like them because in ear headphones always tend to bother me ! The meta assistant is pretty good you can pretty much ask it anything ! 1 con I wear hats and if you do it will show up in the videos !

Yes, 60-seconds, vertical this time though
3 minutes as of December 2024

I would need horizontal to make them worth buying
I wish you could record the last 60 seconds vs having to hit record for the next 60 seconds

Never going to have that much battery life to perpetually record.

No transitions are polarized.
The stock lenses suck
That’s a good option for action moments like skiing, on roller coasters, etc

They have to get a bigger selection before I could consider buying them
I compared them with standard wayfarers today and I was shocked how close they were to the standard frame.
Can you get them for regular prescription Glasses?
Yes
I didn’t hear you mention the on off switch on the inside of the left corner / hinge area of the glasses.
All I want is glass to translate onscreen Japanese so I can play Imported games
Would be sick
omg that would be great
Just wait a few more years and you will have your pick of a few. Wait a few more years and they will be a third of the new price.
@@NaNa-kj2gw naw that's still gonna cost ya what these are.
AR lens is still a long ways away
My wife just ordered me the transition lenses as a gift, I'm excited to check them out!
Can you get a full hour of video or does it shut off like other camera glasses?
At what furthest distance will they connect to a phone? And do you have any idea when the next version is coming out?
Is there any reason to buy them if my main use is not for photos and videos,my main use is while driving?
What are the other use case with them?
From what i hear, music, you can ask the meta AI questions, answer whatsapp calls, etc
is this ideal for pov recording? if not what’s a better choice
Can you use the meta Ray-Bans for RUclips videos?
These only have a camera and a speaker, no display
Just wondering if they sync with iphone health will give heart rate and fitness stats and perhaps navigation and gps?
Are the lens visually enhanced like Oakley prism?

What color lens is the one you’re using? Blue or Green Polar?
The one he's presenting in the video have the Gradient Graphite lenses and matte black frames.
Can you use it for videocalls?
Interesting idea, you would need to look in a mirror tho :)
Can you record on your glasses and also your phone at the same time?
How long does the video recording last per recording? Does it only let you record 30 seconds or can you got for minutes?
it’s 60 seconds per recording
You can choose from: 15 - 30 - 60 seconds per video in settings
@@cachemoneydotexe so will it record 60 seconds and after that starts a new 60 sec video that i can put together in post? i don´t get it really

😮 oh no
Can you use them for your TikTok lives so people are able to see what you see at eye level and if so how long do they last for a whole live stream?
Question... is it possibly for it to take photos without pressing the button or voice activation, say for instance automatically take photos every 30 seconds or something?
No
What about AI assistant feature?
I want these for driving and recording any potential road accidents as evidence. Any other alternatives than just a simple dash cam?
Just get a dash cam
Absolutely not a good option. It only works vertically, only after pushing a button, and only for 60 seconds.
What size are you wearing
when paired to an iphone, if it’s able to use mics for calls and metas ai, is it able to trigger siri?
So can these see what you see real time and use ai to answer questions at what your seeing?
Whats the maximum length of a video you can record with these? More than 1 min?
60-seconds max, with the options for 15, 30, or 60 in the app
How easy it to make a 10 minute video from editing the 1 minute videos together, do you miss anything in-between the edits
What size are you wearing?
would be useful if they dropped the 60 second clip limit and just let us record video as long as we needed
I didn't know this was a thing. How disappointing
It’s 3 mins max since firmware update July 2024
I don't see an option to buy these with prescription lenses.
Can the glasses zoom in ?
Informative review, thanks! I'm interested to get one. It seems practical and easy to use to record videos while I'm riding my motorbike. 🙏👍

Can u live stream with them ?
Love your content and your socks Seth Apthcry
I ordered them via friend. He lives in Canada and he brought it for me in Pakistan. Now I can't even use it because the app is not supported here 😢
Are you still unable to download the app if you use a VPN?
I wanted to get these to Film Pov Driving videos but sad to hear it' has no Wide angle
I use the old ones for driving
Hey, what size are these ?
are they water resistant?
What about vs Bose Tenor?
Are they also screen mirroring when you put navigation on?
No
Do u get an audio indicator telling u if u are recording video?
Yes, and it's different for photo and video
I’m more of an occasional user, a few photos here and there some music, watch some RUclips videos etc maybe a short call and my glasses are normally still at around 30-40% when I take them off to go to bed. I use prescription lenses so i need to be wearing them at all times
These could do with bone conduction for sound. Can one zoom when taking pictures
You won't be comfortable with them clamped that tightly to your face

Can you use this with Whatsapp? Like for Videocalls to show the Environment
How much for lenses without insurance is my question
Can you film landscape and are they 4K
No

Needs transitional lenses for indoor outdoor use. And removable earbuds on the ends.
Can we use it without iPhone
You forgot to add a chapter where you start talking about video recording. It's all included in one big "Microphones" chapter. Just FYI.
It’s funny how you went through this entire video, without mentioning the smart assistant feature of the glasses as well.
you should review the new one
So they still arent recording in 16:9 format. It’s all vertical and Instagram format videos. It’s so weird they won’t unlock it. I can’t buy them . Already have 1st ones. Not going to get second one
Other than the increase from 5 mg to 12 for the cameras there is not a lot of difference.
are they 100% UV PROTECTION ?? i cánt find it on their website
yes they are
waterproof?
I got these to take pov videos of my son ! The audio is fine I like them because in ear headphones always tend to bother me ! The meta assistant is pretty good you can pretty much ask it anything ! 1 con I wear hats and if you do it will show up in the videos !
Damn. I wish the prescriptions ran a little higher.
Can you do live video with it like tiktok live ect
On phone calls, does the other person ever complain about not hearing you or too much background noise?
