Here is my take, since I have not heard one reviewer talk about this aspect: For Crazy Stories and Security Stories, these Story glasses are great. They are actually cheap if you think about it from a defense perspective. For road rage, police, crime and other unforeseen interactions they are a great tool. Hands free, record sound, and give you 30 secs of instant video before you get your phone out. The sound recording also allows verbal recording of a lic plate, threats, or other vital info. I like them for an additional defensive tool in a crazy world.

@@jandersen6802 You also record video into your head via memories. Why are you allowed to record anything into your head when you go out in public? Who knows what you are doing with that information.
I just wanted to take a minute and appreciate the fact that we’re talking about photo and video glasses. I still remember my dad with his clunky camcorder and VHS tape transfer.
I remember back in about 98’ when me and my cousin was listening to the radio in my moms kitchen and was talking about how in the future we’ll be able to video call people with cell phones
Fellow dad here I can relate to your own Dad with fond memories lugging this ginormous old school VHS camcorder along with an over the shoulder 12-pound battery and tape deck accessory all around the magic kingdom in Orlando capturing which are now near and dear Disney memories of my kids on VHS that I now have digitalized.
@@MatthewRumble thank you someone with sense. With the amount of complaining people do about privacy you would think they’re creating some top secret projects.
@@MatthewRumble security cameras don’t go home with you your phone is in your pocket most of the time the camera wouldn’t be able to see anything a computer not all of those have cameras
@@spqri3 the big difference is that memories are not perfect, your average person gets some details incorrect. Video recordings get everything and can be shown to the public.
@@thechimfan1313 This makes no sense though. Why should we validate your inability to properly record the world around you? More and accurate data is what we should be striving for.
The people who complained that Google glass was creepy didn’t know what they were looking at. And, that’s the only reason you would ask if this is creepy. Google’s version allowed for video recording but only for a handful of minutes. When was the last time you were in a public place and did NOT see a bunch of phones out any one of which could be recording for a substantially longer amount of time.
The creepy thing is when people are recording without those around knowing it. It is already the case with smartphones to some degree. But these smart-glasses take it to another level. In the distant future everything you say and think will be recorded and stored for eternity. Then it can be used against you at any time and with any motive.
I FINALLY got mine and I LOVE them. They connect to my iPhone the second I put them on, they're just loud enough to not be obnoxious and the pics / video are clear and not jacked up. Overall, it covers all the basics without a lot of compromise.
@@chenguavez347 Video is simple. I enable voice so I just say, "Hey Facebook....take a video." and it records a 60 sec video. Same goes for pics as well. You can also use voice for texts, phone calls, etc. Anything that you can dictate to Siri or Google is pretty much covered.
Imagine discussing politics, religion, or even healthcare with friends and minutes later having your glasses bricked by FB for 'wrong think'. Just a matter of time.
Next: "Facebook Bedtime Stories" 🤦🏻♂️ A bed with a camera so that fb never misses the most intimate moments of your life. It's only intended to make you happier of course! This nonsense needs to stop.
@C People's lives are so boring that fb makes around 20 to 30 billion a year collecting, analyzing and selling their data. What you perceive as boring is considered a gold mine to behavioral psychologists and marketers looking at studying and steering people's habits. The reality is that fb has been known to use such information for questionable purposes with little oversight and even less transparency. If you don't mind sharing every detail of your life, that's on you. The problem is that corporations like fb use your consent to gather not only your data, but that of everyone you know and everyone around you. There's a reason human beings have been living in enclosed spaces that confer them some level of privacy for the past few thousand years. Privacy is a basic human need/right.
@@techdesigner9741 Well said and when you don't have privacy you have nothing. The sad thing is that privacy seems to be gone and has almost become a foreign word. These actually would be great to have on vacation etc, but millions of Americans walking around all day with video cameras strapped to their faces live streaming, and video recording everything everywhere they go. What could go wrong! Which we already have with smartphones. Walking down my street there are many houses with doorbell cameras now. I can't imagine growing up with this kind of technology at my fingertips, where everyone was recording everything, and as you said, scientists, companies, and government, sitting back and studying your reactions to it all, and if you come up with any good ideas, stealing the info for their own profit and benefiting off of it. But like the former CIA director said. We lie, cheat, and steal.
@@chrisfulop8403 Agreed. Most people are well intentioned and want to live their life without bothering or being bothers by others. Plus, they trust that, in a democracy, there are mechanisms in place to protect their rights and that therefore they don't need to do anything. It's magical thinking: "Someone else will surely do something about it."
These will bring up some interesting situations I'm sure in business's that doesn't want you to record. That little light showing it's recording I'm sure could be covered up with a tiny black speck of black tape. Probably in the long run we just gonna have to suffer more Karen videos on youtube lol
if yall dont buy that glasses, mark will threaten your social media and force u to buy. lol he properbly say u need them glasses to sign in to your account lol
Looks pretty darn close to the camera glasses I bought over year ago. Mine does not have rayban name but were less then 10% of the rayban price. I use them for person to person on line sales (safety). As mush as I like Rayban I will keep my imports, maybe invest 25 more dollars for another set.
Really don’t like the fact that the images are stored by Facebook and not locally on your phone. Also no mention of storage capacity or did I miss that?
The disadvantage is it's not meant for people who wear optical glasses already, I change my shades lenses to fit my vision .. In addition this is meant for outdoors only! I would only buy a smart device that I can use anywhere, not limited as such ..
Imagine glasses with AR or VR for blind people capable of sensing and telling whats directly in front of you like keys, or take video if you fall to save what happened, or giving indications of where you are or where to go in closed spaces like malls or even connect to streetlights to safely cross them
I absolutely love mine so much! Capturing candid moments with family and friends is the best....my nephew acts completely different when you pull the camara out to record him. I'm sure some ppl will use them for evil and that's a shame. I think I love the idea of them more than the execution. No zoom feature, basically unusable at night, poor camara quality, mic volume to low..unless in a completely quiet room, battery life is terrible, videos only 30 seconds long (needs to be a least 60 seconds imo)...and sometimes the glasses are glitchy - connection issues etc. At 300 I can't and wouldn't recommend them to anyone...that notwithstanding I love mine and happy I purchased them and pray the V2 (if not discontinued) will be a big leap forward.
I definitely watched this video with the audio through my RayBan smart glasses haha! I honestly love them and like how subtle and simple they are. I like using them when driving to pick up photos and videos without taking my hands off the wheel. But…these are also my first smart glasses so maybe I’m easily impressed. :)
I love mines and don’t see anything “Creepy” about them. Cameras are everywhere now and people are concerned about it being on your sun glasses, anyway doesn’t bother me.
@@flamebreaker7318 you can already buy spy cameras, if someone wants to record you they will do it whether you like it or not. so your point is moot. Not to mention real spy cameras can record for hours on end.
These could be really good however limiting it to 30 second videos make it not worth it in my opinion. I feel for the price point we should be able to get 30 minutes of video with at least a 720p video quality minimum. These could be great for hiking vlogs, motorcycle riding (inside your helmet) or many more situations. Close but no cigar for me. Great looks with under par quality as far as video or camera.
When will they make smart glasses that actually improve your vision? Like focussing near or far and zoom and macro, etc. Don't care about audio or VR or digital assistants or anything like that.
Google glass failed because you couldn’t tell whether or not someone was recording or taking a picture of you. These kind of glasses are perfect for stalker creeps.
Idc what anyone says these are rly useful for a scientist like me sometimes youre doing something hands free in labs and cannot also simultaneously take videos for many reasons among them chemical spills. Having this to log everything you did seemlesly would be so frk useful. I miss google glass i wouldve bought that too had it not failed for some reason.
A little research and you would have found out that both the regular version and the prescription can come as sun, transitions or clear lenses. So they can be your everyday glasses
I just bought a pair in the flat grey clear lenses that transition in the sun. I paid $370+tax+$20 warranty offered thru sunglass hut to now feel like the biggest creep, only to realize I’m now probably being creeped on by Facebook even more and can kiss my privacy settings out the window. It’s whatever, at least I look good.. win some lose some haha
I Could see them being cool for Borosilicate glassblowing videos if the lenses were Ace Didymium . Not sure how heat resistant the frame is though. Would need special filters on the cameras as well to see through the flame.
I am really enjoying my pair of Stories. I have polarized prescription sunglass lenses installed. They cut out on me once while walking in cold weather (-8 celsius). I'm looking forward to wearing them while riding my motorcycle in the spring/summer though I suspect the noise of the bike may be a bit of a problem.
If that glasses have an ability like an VR that will amazing, but if doesn't it really like an ordinary sun glasses that have a camera and audio, it much better to used your phone than buying that things with the same future or function of your phone.
I made a prototype from some Chinese glasses with a camera and I have managed to control them without touching them or saying a single word. What's more, you can look at me with them on and I'll give you $100 if you guess when l'm taking photos or videos of you. I am doing some things to get a superior prototype and launch them on the market through crowdfunding, but I am going slowly since I have never launched any other product. The control system using cephalic-facial gestures can be incorporated into any glasses, including Ray-Ban | Goal. The sensors that I incorporate are 3 and they do not consume any additional energy to function, in addition, I also made a system for them to charge them while you use them without it being noticed and it has turned out as I expected. The glasses still look identical, you don't notice anything additional when you wear them.
I wish this whole Smart Glass movement could be used to help people with visual disabilities. Something like this with a periscope zoom lens like you see on high-end smartphones would be incredible. Tech companies will go to the ends of the Earth to appeal to the masses to make a buck and invade your space. But if you go looking for a product like that for a handicapped person they want to charge you $10,000.
Facebook and Instagram are working on detection AI for their glasses. So long as they can manage real time object and situation detection through the video that would be produced by the glasses, they should be able to indicate the world to those with sight disabilities. Will take some time though.
theyre good if you going out places, but if you are talking with another person and they have the glasses on it would be disrespectful without telling the other person you are recordong
I always think of these side releases as gadgets that failed to make it to the operative world and instead they made it public business for everyone. First drones, now this.. still waiting for explosive pens.
So true. The govt actually has a whole department whose job it is to militarize new patents and new everything that makes it to their desk. Their entire R&D department probably with tech innovators literally come up with things like this. We know that spy movies have been using pinhole cameras in everything from glasses to jewelry, etc. These glasses are not a new concept at all. They picked a popular company that they knew would price gouge but also have the money to provide premium quality. What they are gonna do is bring out this water downed version, make a ton of money then come out with upgraded versions having people basically buy the same item because they decided you could record longer or have better resolution. These companies aren’t stupid
I can’t think of a gadget I’m less excited for. I don’t know why, the tech is sort of amazing, but I’m not really feeling the use cases where these are suddenly better than a simple smartphone. I also don’t like that everything is becoming more and more dependent on a good smartphone anyway. Wearables just don’t do much for me, yet at least.
I’m totally with you. The only wearable I’m into are the true wireless earbuds. But other than that I’ve skipped the smartwatch love and now smart sunglasses. though I do like sunglasses alone.
@@sarizonana yeah, considering these are less than a pair of Oakleys they could be called a value. But I’m already intruded on enough in my daily life without having some body monitoring what I’m looking at too
@@slappy0079 yes, so true again, wearables are just not exciting, tech yes totally and well these glasses are fun to look at but it’s not something like I’m dying to get and neither a smartwatch. I love my iPad, my smartphone and my earbuds but if I wanted a watch I’d get a regular nice Michael Kors or Fossil and for sunglasses, I just got a pair of regular RayBan wayferers. i wonder if the sellers at sunglasshut and similar feel surprised when we don’t go looking for the Rayban stories. and we just go for our typical regular sunnies. I also making my coffee in my Nesspresso but that’s simple tech So yeah I love tech and fashion but not together. I mean what’s next a bottle perfume where you can check your messages ?

I was a ray ban fan but the deal with Facebook is definitely a deal breaker.
You were never paying for quality just a name and this deal with Facebook has luckily helped you see
I just wanted to take a minute and appreciate the fact that we’re talking about photo and video glasses. I still remember my dad with his clunky camcorder and VHS tape transfer.
I remember back in about 98’ when me and my cousin was listening to the radio in my moms kitchen and was talking about how in the future we’ll be able to video call people with cell phones
Fellow dad here I can relate to your own Dad with fond memories lugging this ginormous old school VHS camcorder along with an over the shoulder 12-pound battery and tape deck accessory all around the magic kingdom in Orlando capturing which are now near and dear Disney memories of my kids on VHS that I now have digitalized.
with the matrix trailer coming out, and free guy on theatre, this glasses are gives the premonition of our future
perfect for fishing trips, hikes or festivals but im going to wait for their next version with better cameras.
Id use this when hiking and mountain biking as opposed to a go pro. Shame u can only take 30 second clips with them tho
Still early development.
Two iteration down the line would be decent
Facebook finally solves the age old problem: How can you guarantee she won’t want a second date?
Facebook + camera = privacy lost 😂
This two ingredient don’t go well together
Security camera, smartphones, computers.. privacy lost already.. no different
@@MatthewRumble thank you someone with sense. With the amount of complaining people do about privacy you would think they’re creating some top secret projects.
Exactly
@@MatthewRumble security cameras don’t go home with you your phone is in your pocket most of the time the camera wouldn’t be able to see anything a computer not all of those have cameras
do we really want to feel like someone is permanently recording us?
Your memories are nothing more than recordings of the world that your brain makes. You literally cannot function without things being recorded.
@@spqri3 the big difference is that memories are not perfect, your average person gets some details incorrect. Video recordings get everything and can be shown to the public.
Yeah no different than security cameras
@@spqri3 "that your brain records", not some random joe blogg walking along the street with face recognition.
@@thechimfan1313 This makes no sense though. Why should we validate your inability to properly record the world around you? More and accurate data is what we should be striving for.
The people who complained that Google glass was creepy didn’t know what they were looking at. And, that’s the only reason you would ask if this is creepy.
Google’s version allowed for video recording but only for a handful of minutes. When was the last time you were in a public place and did NOT see a bunch of phones out any one of which could be recording for a substantially longer amount of time.
The creepy thing is when people are recording without those around knowing it. It is already the case with smartphones to some degree. But these smart-glasses take it to another level.
In the distant future everything you say and think will be recorded and stored for eternity. Then it can be used against you at any time and with any motive.
@@jandersen6802 the first paragraph is what I already said. The second is your own weird little future fantasy and it has nothing to do with reality.
I FINALLY got mine and I LOVE them. They connect to my iPhone the second I put them on, they're just loud enough to not be obnoxious and the pics / video are clear and not jacked up. Overall, it covers all the basics without a lot of compromise.
How does the recording work? 30 secs then next video begins?
@@chenguavez347 Video is simple. I enable voice so I just say, "Hey Facebook....take a video." and it records a 60 sec video. Same goes for pics as well. You can also use voice for texts, phone calls, etc. Anything that you can dictate to Siri or Google is pretty much covered.
Headphones, Phone, Watch, now I need to charge my Sunglasses? exactly what I need...
Imagine discussing politics, religion, or even healthcare with friends and minutes later having your glasses bricked by FB for 'wrong think'. Just a matter of time.
Can I change it so I can say? “Hey Jarvis, take a photo”
Next: "Facebook Bedtime Stories" 🤦🏻♂️
A bed with a camera so that fb never misses the most intimate moments of your life. It's only intended to make you happier of course!
This nonsense needs to stop.
@C People's lives are so boring that fb makes around 20 to 30 billion a year collecting, analyzing and selling their data.
What you perceive as boring is considered a gold mine to behavioral psychologists and marketers looking at studying and steering people's habits. The reality is that fb has been known to use such information for questionable purposes with little oversight and even less transparency.
If you don't mind sharing every detail of your life, that's on you. The problem is that corporations like fb use your consent to gather not only your data, but that of everyone you know and everyone around you.
There's a reason human beings have been living in enclosed spaces that confer them some level of privacy for the past few thousand years. Privacy is a basic human need/right.
@@techdesigner9741 Well said and when you don't have privacy you have nothing. The sad thing is that privacy seems to be gone and has almost become a foreign word. These actually would be great to have on vacation etc, but millions of Americans walking around all day with video cameras strapped to their faces live streaming, and video recording everything everywhere they go. What could go wrong! Which we already have with smartphones. Walking down my street there are many houses with doorbell cameras now. I can't imagine growing up with this kind of technology at my fingertips, where everyone was recording everything, and as you said, scientists, companies, and government, sitting back and studying your reactions to it all, and if you come up with any good ideas, stealing the info for their own profit and benefiting off of it. But like the former CIA director said. We lie, cheat, and steal.
@@chrisfulop8403 Agreed. Most people are well intentioned and want to live their life without bothering or being bothers by others. Plus, they trust that, in a democracy, there are mechanisms in place to protect their rights and that therefore they don't need to do anything. It's magical thinking: "Someone else will surely do something about it."
99% of people are dumb sheep. They will do what they are told and the future will be even more dystopian than you can imagine.
@@jandersen6802 They don't even have to tell people to do it. Just package their spying and guiding in a fancy new toy that people can't wait to have.
What's the battery life? Weight? Is this a review?
These will bring up some interesting situations I'm sure in business's that doesn't want you to record. That little light showing it's recording I'm sure could be covered up with a tiny black speck of black tape. Probably in the long run we just gonna have to suffer more Karen videos on youtube lol

No 180 VR video recording? I think it would have been the main selling point for Oculus Quest owners.
When Apple make Glasses, the starting price will be 9999$
For amazing innovation & super user interface
I like high apple prices, it makes me smile knowing theres people dumb enough to be Apple's lil bish
To confirm, in the Facebook view app, you can export the photos and videos and then send to other areas besides just facebook right?
Yup, you can save them to your iPhone photo album and use the pics however you want.
Looks pretty darn close to the camera glasses I bought over year ago. Mine does not have rayban name but were less then 10% of the rayban price. I use them for person to person on line sales (safety). As mush as I like Rayban I will keep my imports, maybe invest 25 more dollars for another set.
whats the name of them
What is your brand?
Really don’t like the fact that the images are stored by Facebook and not locally on your phone. Also no mention of storage capacity or did I miss that?
"Facebuck"
"Sunglasses"
"Ray-ban stories"
The disadvantage is it's not meant for people who wear optical glasses already, I change my shades lenses to fit my vision .. In addition this is meant for outdoors only! I would only buy a smart device that I can use anywhere, not limited as such ..
Imagine glasses with AR or VR for blind people capable of sensing and telling whats directly in front of you like keys, or take video if you fall to save what happened, or giving indications of where you are or where to go in closed spaces like malls or even connect to streetlights to safely cross them
Nice
I think they should make the cameras hidden or invisible so we can catch fishy moments too
I absolutely love mine so much! Capturing candid moments with family and friends is the best....my nephew acts completely different when you pull the camara out to record him. I'm sure some ppl will use them for evil and that's a shame. I think I love the idea of them more than the execution. No zoom feature, basically unusable at night, poor camara quality, mic volume to low..unless in a completely quiet room, battery life is terrible, videos only 30 seconds long (needs to be a least 60 seconds imo)...and sometimes the glasses are glitchy - connection issues etc. At 300 I can't and wouldn't recommend them to anyone...that notwithstanding I love mine and happy I purchased them and pray the V2 (if not discontinued) will be a big leap forward.
Do they take wide-angle photos and video?
Ray-Ban Stories Cool or creepy?

"I love mine so much"....to "I think I love the idea of them..." to "I pray for the new version" I already see a problem!

The apple glasses will not have cameras though. Only lidars. Cameras are way more fun. Think about exposing all the creeps that are hitting on you!
I didn’t even think about the creep factor until he mentioned it. Now I can’t forget it.
Once captured, can the photos/videos be downloaded to your computer and then removed from the Facebook app?
I definitely watched this video with the audio through my RayBan smart glasses haha!
I honestly love them and like how subtle and simple they are. I like using them when driving to pick up photos and videos without taking my hands off the wheel.
But…these are also my first smart glasses so maybe I’m easily impressed. :)
When the 30 seconds has passed after filming, does the video feature automatically shut off, or does it automatically start recording a second video?
They sucked before there trust me
I love mines and don’t see anything “Creepy” about them. Cameras are everywhere now and people are concerned about it being on your sun glasses, anyway doesn’t bother me.
I think the main difference is, that it's easier to see if someone is filming you with a cell phone.
@@indigo12 cell phones, like I said cameras are everywhere, cars, buildings, light polls, etc. Cameras people aren’t even thinking about.
But glasses like that enable misuse in a very different way.
@@BIGGUNNER845 but glasses are on your face they see everything you see there are no blind spots
@@flamebreaker7318 you can already buy spy cameras, if someone wants to record you they will do it whether you like it or not. so your point is moot. Not to mention real spy cameras can record for hours on end.
These could be really good however limiting it to 30 second videos make it not worth it in my opinion. I feel for the price point we should be able to get 30 minutes of video with at least a 720p video quality minimum. These could be great for hiking vlogs, motorcycle riding (inside your helmet) or many more situations. Close but no cigar for me. Great looks with under par quality as far as video or camera.
Agreed. put a microsd slot in there and you should be able to shoot until the battery runs out.
When will they make smart glasses that actually improve your vision? Like focussing near or far and zoom and macro, etc. Don't care about audio or VR or digital assistants or anything like that.
Google glass failed because you couldn’t tell whether or not someone was recording or taking a picture of you. These kind of glasses are perfect for stalker creeps.
Idc what anyone says these are rly useful for a scientist like me sometimes youre doing something hands free in labs and cannot also simultaneously take videos for many reasons among them chemical spills. Having this to log everything you did seemlesly would be so frk useful. I miss google glass i wouldve bought that too had it not failed for some reason.
A little research and you would have found out that both the regular version and the prescription can come as sun, transitions or clear lenses. So they can be your everyday glasses
I just bought a pair in the flat grey clear lenses that transition in the sun. I paid $370+tax+$20 warranty offered thru sunglass hut to now feel like the biggest creep, only to realize I’m now probably being creeped on by Facebook even more and can kiss my privacy settings out the window. It’s whatever, at least I look good.. win some lose some haha
I Could see them being cool for Borosilicate glassblowing videos if the lenses were Ace Didymium . Not sure how heat resistant the frame is though. Would need special filters on the cameras as well to see through the flame.
Facebook anything is creepy
I am really enjoying my pair of Stories. I have polarized prescription sunglass lenses installed. They cut out on me once while walking in cold weather (-8 celsius). I'm looking forward to wearing them while riding my motorcycle in the spring/summer though I suspect the noise of the bike may be a bit of a problem.
Do you need your phone connected to them while taking the photos? Like can I leave my phone at home?
If that glasses have an ability like an VR that will amazing, but if doesn't it really like an ordinary sun glasses that have a camera and audio, it much better to used your phone than buying that things with the same future or function of your phone.
Excellent balanced review. I wouldn't be able to handle the dreadful, "slideshow", low-framerate video and low res photos.
I made a prototype from some Chinese glasses with a camera and I have managed to control them without touching them or saying a single word.
What's more, you can look at me with them on and I'll give you $100 if you guess when l'm taking photos or videos of you.
I am doing some things to get a superior prototype and launch them on the market through crowdfunding, but I am going slowly since I have never launched any other product. The control system using cephalic-facial gestures can be incorporated into any glasses, including Ray-Ban | Goal. The sensors that I incorporate are 3 and they do not consume any additional energy to function, in addition, I also made a system for them to charge them while you use them without it being noticed and it has turned out as I expected. The glasses still look identical, you don't notice anything additional when you wear them.
I wish this whole Smart Glass movement could be used to help people with visual disabilities. Something like this with a periscope zoom lens like you see on high-end smartphones would be incredible. Tech companies will go to the ends of the Earth to appeal to the masses to make a buck and invade your space. But if you go looking for a product like that for a handicapped person they want to charge you $10,000.
Facebook and Instagram are working on detection AI for their glasses. So long as they can manage real time object and situation detection through the video that would be produced by the glasses, they should be able to indicate the world to those with sight disabilities. Will take some time though.
I agree with your comment completely but $10,000? Keep going… for something as simple as hearing aids can go well beyond $10,000
theyre good if you going out places, but if you are talking with another person and they have the glasses on it would be disrespectful without telling the other person you are recordong
Facebook? Ye-No.
How creepy this would be talking to random people w that 3rd eye watching you.
This is my most anticipated product of the future
I can’t wait for fully integrated AR and VR smart glasses
Thank you for the review. What color are your frames? Black or Brown?
If humanity needs to evolve we need to trust cameras
I can now plan the jewel store heist.
I always think of these side releases as gadgets that failed to make it to the operative world and instead they made it public business for everyone. First drones, now this.. still waiting for explosive pens.
So true. The govt actually has a whole department whose job it is to militarize new patents and new everything that makes it to their desk. Their entire R&D department probably with tech innovators literally come up with things like this. We know that spy movies have been using pinhole cameras in everything from glasses to jewelry, etc. These glasses are not a new concept at all. They picked a popular company that they knew would price gouge but also have the money to provide premium quality. What they are gonna do is bring out this water downed version, make a ton of money then come out with upgraded versions having people basically buy the same item because they decided you could record longer or have better resolution. These companies aren’t stupid
Is it just for Facebook?? Or you can take pictures and share them other way
Now I gotta throw away my RayBans.
good thing I only ever bought cheap knockoffs in the first place
Could you stream with these?
I can’t think of a gadget I’m less excited for. I don’t know why, the tech is sort of amazing, but I’m not really feeling the use cases where these are suddenly better than a simple smartphone. I also don’t like that everything is becoming more and more dependent on a good smartphone anyway. Wearables just don’t do much for me, yet at least.
Awe poor kids tough luck.

I love my iPad, my smartphone and my earbuds but if I wanted a watch I’d get a regular nice Michael Kors or Fossil and for sunglasses, I just got a pair of regular RayBan wayferers. i wonder if the sellers at sunglasshut and similar feel surprised when we don’t go looking for the Rayban stories.
and we just go for our typical regular sunnies.
I also making my coffee in my Nesspresso but that’s simple tech
So yeah I love tech and fashion but not together.

Fashion and tech should stay separately.
Go to Ray-Ban and buy them right now Black Friday 50% off once you put them in your cart it says 30% off but as soon as you put them in your car you get another 20%
And they are actually at the same price as regural Ray Bans. Now we can see how overpriced are regural sun glasses
Are these the regular/standard fit or large?
Ill wait for the 4.0 version those wayfers almost had me tho
Can you easily use the videos for a TH-cam channel? Basically you'd have to upload to TH-cam or at least transfer to iPhone. Possible?
anything facebook is creepy.
That clip running around the monument was in Montclair, right?
This is going to be cool tech when you can they development advanced and you can livestream with your sun glasses
Give it an year and the tech will improve for sure(And yeah, not to forget other brands will try to compete as well….)
It was cool that you were using your watch to manage your camera. I like that feature, too!
Super creepy
Could you let me know the hinge to hinge length? Ray-ban's web site doesn't show it.😢
