r/RaybanMeta

I just bought the ray ban meta gen 2, clear version. I wear prescription glasses and hence i want to get transition prescription lenses on my ray ban meta, but the lens replacement was too expensive for just additional prescription lenses. I was thinking if i can probably use lenskart to get the lens replaced, is that a safe way to do it? Or is there another way how i can change the lenses in just under 5000 rupees?

Ps the ray ban original lens replacement was costing me an additional 15k on top of the glasses that are already 40.

I’ll be wearing Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses during graduation and recording video. The glasses have a small blinking/recording light.
An official photographer will also take a graduation portrait photo of me before I go on stage.
Will that blinking light show up in the professional portrait photo, or is it too dim to appear?

I live at sea level and notice my xtractive lens work well, tint slightly in the car and ok outside . I’m on vacation and at 6-8k elevation, wow it’s dark in cars and really dark outside. In car it’s more than the normal 50%.

I’ve bought the meta glasses and I can’t seem to connect them to my iPhone which is running on iOS 17.1 because of storage issues. I have an iPad I connected and set everything up on but that’s not practical when going out. Does anyone know what to do? I’ve seen other posts from 4 days ago with others having the same issue, has anyone called metas or figured something out?

Pure bait ans switch,right?

Around 25gb in 5 days!

So, I wore my meta with full function on, on a holiday (in Europe) abroad. My provider allows me 60gb a month abroad. After 10 days I got a mandatory notice from my provider that I’ve used 80% of my plan. Looking into my phone to see how that was possible i noticed that Meta used around 45gb of data. I’ve used it, but not intensively. Asked a translation 2 or 3 times and shot a lot of pictures and some short vids with my glasses. Just so u know when you’re living in Europe and go abroad, meta eats data!

My iOS meta app shows a bunch of videos that still need to load the high quality videos. Does that need to be downloaded from the glasses still? My glasses wont turn on.

The left temple was overextended and it cracked at the hinge and the ray bans are dead now.

I owned the Wayfarers before this and did not wear them more than 3-4 hours at one go as it felt heavier and chunky. So I swap them with my normal progressive frames on and off.

Got the Scriber a few weeks ago and put in progressive lenses at a local optical shop. Collected them 3 days ago.

Today is day 3 of wearing them all day.

Some observations and changes to my daily habit:

Sometime I noticed, I am using my Macbook Pro as a primary device and I paired it as a bluetooth speaker. When I have videos playing, I noticed messages being read out to me (whatsapp) so I'm not sure if it is allowing my iPhone AND my Macbook Pro as audio inputs at the same time. My MacOS never did read out notifications before this. Because it is Meta, I think it is more integrated with IG, FB, and Whatsapp, since they are all Meta products.

I used to wear my glasses into the shower, so that I can wash them as well when showering. I can't do this now, and instead, put the Scriber into the case to charge up. The charging is surprisingly fast and I get around 30-50% charge during shower / oral care time.

Battery life for the new Metas are good. With normal usage like notifications, replying Whatsapp messages, a few photos a day, a few videos a day, some Meta AI chatting, it lasts 6-7 hours.

When at workdesk, I will charge it up when I can and wear my normal glasses.

I had the "touch pad" touch and hold button assigned to Spotify or Meta AI and my hair (I have medium length hair) seems to activate it accidentally. Have had to disable it. That kinda sucks. I use the new action button on top to activate Meta AI. I disabled "Hey Meta" coz I think it uses more battery to be always listening.

I'm using "3 dots" nose inserts and don't find 1, or 2 dots any much different. Even with 3 dots, I still find them low and the base of the frame touches my cheek with I smile. I ordered some non-slip nose pads and will see if they sit better with them stuck on. My nose aches slightly.

After wearing for about 3-4 hours, the weight is better compared to the Wayfarers but somehow the area around the temple tips ache. I've adjust the temple tips (applied firm pressure with thumbs pushing the bends) slightly "outwards" and it feels slightly better but they slip more now. I'm thinking of ordering the silicon "bumpers" for the temple tips.

Nose ache, temple tips ache - Will wait a while more since may take getting used to the new frames.

Will update here if the nose pads help with comfort + slippage, and then the silicon temple tips should I go ahead and apply them.

However, the volume is too low. Even at it's max. The elderly may have trouble hearing

I’ve done some research on these, and needed new glasses anyway, so I ordered the Ray Ban Meta Wayfarer Gen 2. I know the basics, you can ask it what you see, the battery life, stuff like that. Can I video call on Discord somehow? I don’t really use Instagram or Facebook anymore. Also, if my phone isn’t nearby/dead, what happens to any pictures or videos I take? These are going to be my general use glasses once they arrive.

I was travelling in India was in a different state where they speak a language i don’t know of. We made a stop at a supermarket there and i was looking for some packed cake and when i didn’t find anything i spoke to my dad in my native saying, no cake. The meta glasses where on but i never triggered the meta ai and suddenly it replied that to very quick “cake, no cake what a bummer”

Then i looked at the notification light it wasn’t on, i even said wtf meta it didn’t register.

Idk what to think about it but i think someone is listening in on the conversation and are responding on their own will.

Anyone know how the "Dynamic Photo" mentioned below in the June 29th v26 release notes work? I don't see it on my original Rayban Metas

>Dynamic photo automatically captures multiple frames with every snap. Choose your favorite shot and never miss what matters most.

I bought the adventurer last week but they only had the dark brown lenses. I wonder if there are 3rd party websites that sold cheap transition lenses or even just clear lenses? Anyone know please? 🙏
