Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 1) overview
The Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 1) is a 12 MP pair of camera glasses with a built-in lens, announced by Meta in September 2023. It has been followed by the Meta Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2); both are still sold.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits hands-free point-of-view video. It is a weaker pick for zoom, low light or interchangeable lenses and swimming or heavy rain.
No store we track in Singapore lists it today. It is listed in Australia.
Worth comparing it with the Meta Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2), Meta Oakley Meta HSTN and Meta Oakley Meta Vanguard.
