Critics' Take
Critics like the G2 as a light, camera-free pair of glasses that pass for ordinary eyewear, with a sharp green heads-up display and multi-day battery life. Reviewers are split on the software and controls, citing Bluetooth bugs, fiddly touch pads and a thin app ecosystem. At $599 before prescription lenses and the optional $249 R1 ring, many call it pricey.
What critics loved
- Looks like regular glasses at about 36 g
- Sharp, bright Micro-LED display
- No camera for better privacy
- Battery lasts about two days or more
- Useful teleprompter, notifications and transcription
Common gripes
- Touch controls on the temples are fiddly
- Bluetooth disconnects and software bugs
- Limited app ecosystem and rigid widgets
- Expensive once the R1 ring and prescription lenses are added

“The Even G2 are a big upgrade from the company’s original G1 pair, with a 75% larger display than before, better AI features, a sharper design, and one very important upgrade (for me): a green color option.”

“The quick access to some information — such as it is — is not life-altering, and too many of its other features are subpar and would force me to pull out my phone, which, of course, defeats the entire purpose of smart glasses.”
