    It feels not quite ready.

  • Comfort, Fit & Lenses0 pts

    Comfort: They are heavier than normal frames. During physical activity, they get uncomfortable and can slip.

  • Battery & Power-1 pts

    Battery Life: Even with almost all automatic features turned off, I only get 4-6 hours. As a daily wearer, I can't rely on them for a full 16-hour day.
