Nice toy with very little use

I bought this as a birthday present just to play with. Was curious about all media features and AI functionality. So what can I say?
* Setup was easy and worked fine. However, some time after use Meta View app failed to connect to glasses and no troubleshooting was helpful. I completely deleted the device and reinstalled the app, even after that trying to add the glasses again kept failing right after Bluetooth connection. After numerous attempts it suddenly worked. So... talking away two stars because of this snafu.
* Comfort is actually better than I expected but still you can't wear these glasses all day, they become really tense and uncomfortable at the nosebridge and behind the ears. And man these glasses are ugly like hell! (Not Meta's fault, rather a Ray-Ban thing indeed). I am used to sports sunglasses for hiking or biking so maybe I am biased, but really sports sunglasses are so much better looking and much more comfortable.
* Functionality is also a problem. Yes these glasses do everything promised and do it well. They play music surprisingly well given the design. You can take phone calls and participate in meetings just fine. They take reasonably good pictures and videos (slightly odd aspect ratio though, and they take too long before actually taking a picture, so if you try to snap a picture of a car crossing the road you will most surely miss). They can answer simplest voice assistant commands. But that's it, really. That's not a lot of use cases but could still be fun.
I bought the Transitions model to have glasses that could adjust to lighting. This doesn't work well - the glasses never become dark enough to compensate for a bright sun in California.
Bottom line - if these glasses were looking better (like sports sunglasses), had better dynamic sun protection, and were more comfortable for long time use, I would be a happy user!

Pretty cool sometimes

I like them then I don’t like them. I got transitions because wanted to use more. I don’t like them on me when clear (look funny). But I like them when clear for function. I got them for first person in my airplane. No more GoPro strapped to my head. The easy of use tap the button forget and live in the moment really works well. The videos are awesome. Get my hat sometimes and sometimes hat denies it from taking the shot. Think I would have loved non transition but then loose the twilight and night use. I would buy again thinking of buying another just to have some that don’t transition for when I know won’t be out in the dark. Wish I could share video. Check out @l4_46 on tiktok for video. Thanks
