Have them. LOVE THEM. Cannot recommend them more enthusiastically and use them all the time. If you have any specific questions happy to answer.

+1. Really like mine. My primary use case is listening to music when I otherwise couldn’t and having full situational awareness (is the playground)

I have actually bought 2 pairs now cause I fried the first one in the ATX heat. I wore them out paddleboarding on a hot day and took "SUNglasses too literally". I used to have the Wayfarers, now I have the Headliners (much cuter!) and they both have Transitions lenses (a must IMO so you can wear them inside and outside).

They import photos/videos using a standalone app called META VIEW. You need a Meta account to use this app but nothing ever touches FB/IG really. The app doesn't even bother downloading or retaining most of your content, telling you to look at your own camera roll because that's where it saves stuff. 

NEVER USE THE AI 

I have been a longtime Snapchat Spectacles user so uh, they def replaced those for me. They replace my headphones in a lot of situations. And more than that I guess they open up NEW situations for me to take photos/vids that would have been harder or i wouldn't have before 

I used my Metas to make this demo video too. LOL

which exact style/version? 

do they lock you into fb/insta or can you use them independently?

how's the ai? how often do you talk to it?

what products did they replace that you used to use regularly?

You cannot use it without engaging w/Meta — you need their Meta View app to get your pics off the device and set it up, and by extension do need an account with them 

They store your info for some time I believe but not forever — honestly not sure 

You can buy Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in countries like the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Australia; essentially most major European countries and Australia.

My biggest question is how my personal data will (or will not) be stored by meta. Also can I use it without connecting it to meta services? Lastly, would you know about coverage re: international users.
