I have a pretty big head. Like 8-8.25 hat size.

I measured my current glasses and they're roughly similar to the Even G2 (a few mm less hinge-to-hinge and about 8mm narrower in the temple width.

My glasses are big and black and plastic, and I know the G2 is much lighter and thinner and titanium. This flexibility could compensate.

Any other big head folks out there wearing these? Opinions?

I'll start by saying this will be my own doing for not going with and index finger fit and instead using my right ring finger. I currently wear an index finger ring and didn't want to remove it.

navigation is absolutely great using the ring finger, the only issue comes from constant accidental touches which fires up the menu, hoping there is a way to customise the wake up touch pattern at some point.

But for me, the main issue is how uncomfortable the ring is. the outside edge constantly rubs against my other fingers. I own an oura ring which has a similar shape and it has never once given me this issue.

As I say, my fault for wearing the ring on a different finger, but this ring should be flexible enough to wear on any finger and still have comfort and control nailed down.

Has anyone else had this issue or is it just me?

so, im really interested in getting an even g2, but i wanted to understand better how the ai features actually work, especially conversate. i live in brazil and even though im fluent in english, all my day to day interactions are in portuguese, so i obviously dont really need real time translation in any context.

but does the ai actually understand and respond to portuguese naturally or would i have to speak in english for it to work properly? like a very dumb example but if i ask “how much is 2+2” in portuguese, would it just understand and answer 4 normally?t

i dont really care about the menu or if the output language itself will be in english since im fine with it, im more interested in knowing if it can properly understand another language and still explain concepts, contextualize things, and give detailed responses without issues.

thanks!!

Hi,
I want to ask if it is possible now to set up agentic workflow, for example: using voice command to go to different apps, use voice command to create to-do notes or create calendar block. Something like
Claude Cowork.

Hey Even Realities team!

​I love the minimalist design of the G2. I have a feature/app idea that would be perfect for its monochrome HUD style: a Stargazing / Astronomy Guide.

​Since the glasses have a built-in compass and connect to the phone's GPS, the G2 could guide us to look at constellations, planets, and satellites. Instead of heavy graphics, it could use simple directional arrows and text cues (e.g., "Look 45° East to find Mars" or "You are looking at the Orion constellation"). Combined with audio notes, it would make an incredible, hands-free night sky companion.

​Would love to see something like this in a future update! Keep up the great work.

I'm not sure if I would have bought these if I didn't already need and wear glasses daily. Just as I don't wear hearing aids bc I don't need them (yet). I honestly can't see a real reason to put on glasses everyday if you don't need them - but to each their own.

The glasses true power is when their presence fades out of your mind and you are into your day to day and you get a notification. Its then you see their intended purpose. To work silently with you and provide important info as soon as it comes in. I get Teams notifications that just pop in front of me and its magical.

My reason though for the purchase is that I HAVE to catch certain emails quickly or I will miss out on a testing opportunity. I have been wearing the G2s for the past 2 days while at work and have not missed any campaigns - even caught one while I was mowing the lawn. That right there cemented them into my day to day.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to figure out if I’ll receive my order in time before I leave for vacation on June 8.

I placed an order for prescription lenses on May 15, and I’m located in the Midwest (U.S.). Based on your experiences, do you think it’s likely to arrive before then?

Would really appreciate any insights on recent shipping times for prescription orders. Thanks!

I'm a professional TV screenwriter, which means my job is basically brainstorming all day, every day. Writers' room sessions, story meetings, development calls. Most days I'm in 4h+ discussions, minimum.

Right now I take notes by hand or on a laptop, but both pull me out of the creative flow (and a laptop screen between me and my collaborators kills the energy in the room).

Before I pull the trigger on a pair of G1s, I'd love some honest feedback from people who actually use them:

1. Real-time transcription of long meetings — can the glasses reliably capture 4+ hours of multi-speaker discussion? What's the actual battery + processing limit per session?
2. Speaker separation — in a room with 3-5 people talking over each other (very much our reality), does the transcription stay usable?
3. Note retrieval after the fact — how easy is it to search, export, or feed the transcript into other tools (Notion, Claude, etc.) once the meeting is done?
4. Discretion — do people in the room notice/react to the glasses? In a creative meeting, anything that makes collaborators self-conscious is a dealbreaker.

Any screenwriters, journalists, lawyers, consultants here using them for long-form discussions? Would love to hear your real workflow before I commit.

Thanks 🙏

About three weeks ago I posted here about pulling the demo app apart and building my own companion app. That was meant to be the end of it - "here's what I figured out, maybe it helps someone."

Reader - It did not end there.

The app is now my daily driver. Notifications, navigation, voice notes, Full AI chat, call handling, media display - all running on the glasses full-time. But the thing that's probably more useful to anyone else tinkering is that the documentation has grown into something I didn't plan for.

The protocol reference alone now covers 40+ opcodes with wire formats, payload breakdowns, confidence ratings, and worked examples. Not from the SDK docs (which are... sparse). From HCI snoops, trial and error, and a lot of staring at hex.

Some of the more interesting things that have landed since the last post:

• QuickNote pipeline - right-hold on the glasses now triggers a full audio capture, LC3 decode, Whisper transcription - quicknotes are no longer black magic impossible out of the official app
  • (My quicknote includes GPT tidy, and auto-categorised local note). The firmware streams encoded audio back after the gesture - it's not a black box. T
  • he LC3 frame size is 200 bytes, the BLE chunks are 190 bytes, and if you slice at chunk boundaries instead of frame boundaries you get clicks. That kind of thing took a while to figure out and is all documented.
• Telephony call handling - incoming calls show the caller name on the glasses immediately, with a live duration timer when you answer. Driven by TelephonyManager, not notification scraping. Clears automatically when you hang up.
• Navigation - the 0x0a structured card path is fully working. 108-packet bootstrap, dynamic field injection from Google Maps notifications, live icon rendering, 1-second keepalive. Still better than the official app's navigation, which is a sentence I didn't expect to type.
• BLE stability - heartbeat at 2s cadence matching the official app, per-leg parallel sends, reconnect with backoff. The glasses stay connected now.

The repo is the same place: https://github.com/Cheddies1/even-g1-companion

The docs/ folder is where most of the value is for other developers. protocol-reference.md is the big one. There are also findings docs for battery/brightness, QuickNote audio, navigation layouts, settings, and tap/gesture mapping.

If you're building something for the G1 - the protocol reference might save you a few evenings of hex staring.

Is there anyway to download the raw content of conversate or translate app into a text format? I don't want the AI summarized version. I want to get the data it's been saving so I can use it myself.

I’m loving the glasses first off. Way exceeded my expectations and they were high to begin with. My only gripe is with the ring. I have difficulty scrolling and pressing. Sometimes it does the opposite action. Wondering others experiences with the ring. I’ve had it for about a week but I still struggle quite a bit with it and am wondering if maybe if it’s a lemon, or I am just bad. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

Edit: just wanted to add a thank you to everyone that responded. It seems shifting the ring is already helping a bit. I’ll give it more time to get used to.

So yeah, lesson learned. I’m at EDC and went into a mosh pit with my G2 on. Came out without it.
Was bummed for a bit, but whatever — festivals happen.

I’d only had them about 3–4 months, but I genuinely liked them and used them pretty regularly.
Now I’m debating whether it’s worth buying another pair.

For people who’ve had theirs lost, broken, or otherwise destroyed:
Did you end up rebuying? If yes, what made it worth it? If not, what changed your mind?

Curious to hear how others justified it (or didn’t).

Yeah, so after mulling on this for a long time and going through all the threads in the forum I got the G2A green with prescription + ring + green sunclip.

The biggest factor was the price, in Austria this sets you back 1200+ euros. But at least I bought it from a partner store and they were very nice, got to try the ring the glasses, test for comfort. I have two big fears:

- Stealth. It's clear that the green projectors are noticeable for anyone looking at you so my hope is that by going for green G2a with green sumclip and maybe low brightness it will trick people into not noticing the green flashes when I am sitting at a cafe, using them. People here in Europe take privacy quite seriously and while enthusiastic people might compliment your smart glasses, others can flip thinking you are filming them even though alas, this is excactly why I bought the G2 so I don't film other people.

- Vibe code success. I plan to modify the open source Readest app and make it compatible to G2 so that I can read books on my PC, ereader, phone and G2 glasses. Complete seamless experience anywhere. If this works I'll be the happies person in the world, if it doesn't I might have a dud on my hands.

Lets see. They said 4-6 weeks until they arrive so fingers crossed.
