The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses line was originally announced on September 27, 2023, and officially released in retail stores on October 17, 2023.

Generation 1 (2021): Meta's true first-generation glasses were released in September 2021 under the name Ray-Ban Stories. Those lacked the advanced Meta AI features, livestreaming capabilities, and upgraded 12 MP camera of the later models.

Generation 2 (2023)
This model (the Ray-Ban Meta line) vastly improved the audio, camera quality, and built-in AI assistant.

Generation 3 (2026)
Meta recently advanced the line again, releasing the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 3 glasses in late September 2026, which feature even longer battery life and a revised layout.

Why thumbs down, is this not a good deal? I'm curious about these, just don't know much about them.

Per ChatGPT:

The Meta Wayfarer AI Glasses with Core Product ID 3333338JG8 are most likely Gen 1 (1st Generation) Ray-Ban Meta glasses.

The retailer listing identifies the item as Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer AI Glasses but doesn't explicitly state the generation.

To confirm, check the model number printed inside the glasses:

RW4006 / RW4008: Gen 1

RW4012: Gen 2

RW4011: Gen 3

Interesting. When I first used AI to look up item number (I know, not always accurate), it said Gen 2. But if it is Gen 1, I will pass.

People associate them with "stalker glasses"

As someone who had the gen 1's and recently got the gen 2's I haven't met any of these people in real life, just online; at least no one confronted me.

I will note, I had amazing insurance with my first pair and it was not that much more to buy regular glasses with the same upgrades rayban makes you do to the lenses. I got the second gen because my first gen died in less than a year so they gave me the price of the glasses plus replacement lenses... since the second gen was just $80 more after the third gen came out I figured why not. They are nicer to look through but I will say the thick frames don't look great on me.

I rarely ever use the cameras unless I am building something or taking something apart and need both hands. I use the audio feature a lot and my primary use.

If you turn off the "hey meta" always listening the gen 1's got me through most of the day even with listening to music casually. I never needed the feature because even if I needed AI I could just press the side of the glasses.

Sold out everywhere. Gotta believe these were Gen 1 from the date listed (says 2023).
