Disappointed
So I picked up my prescription Gen2 Ray Ban Wayfarers today £700 with all the extras I picked and I’m just incredibly frustrated and super disappointed in them.
I tried to set them up in store and they said frames were already linked to another meta account. They were brand new I watched the assistant break the seal on the box in store. It took 30 minutes of trying to hard reset to make them finally link.
I then tried a few features out and made a call and took some photos fine. But then I noticed If I want to sync a photo to my phone I have to hard close the app and then reopen it twice to give me the option to link to RayBan WiFi to send photos to my phone.
I tried to update them when I got home on the WiFi and it said 5 minutes remaining for over an hour before saying it failed and to try again. I had to hard close the app multiple times for it to finally work and update.
I asked them to text someone and it defaulted to WhatsApp. I disconnected WhatsApp and it now try’s to send texts through Instagram. I just want it to send an SMS through my phone. It can read incoming texts but if I say reply it tries to reply to random Instagram accounts.
I asked them to send last picture on WhatsApp to my wife and they tried to send it to some random Latino car wash Instagram account that isn’t anything remotely like my wife’s name.
I tried to video call my parents on WhatsApp and the quality was horrendous. It wouldn’t even work on WiFi. The picture was just frozen and super blurred. I switched to phone camera and it was perfect.
The AI is dumb as hell. I asked it who was playing tonight in the World Cup and it told me Equador was playing Mexico tonight at 5pm (that game was 3 days ago) I then corrected it and said no Egypt are playing tonight and it then tried to tell me that Egypt was playing Mexico tonight instead.
The supposedly 8 hours of battery life was down to 20% just listening to music after 2 hours.
It’s been 5 hours and I feel like I wasted £700 for a set of sunglasses that play music. Tell me I’m not insane? Am I doing something wrong?
