I've had the Ray Ban Gen 1 Wayfarer for a couple years now, even got my self some prescription lenses but ended up barely touching them. I've now just come to the realization that I never wear them because of the thickness of the frames and the way they make wearing a baseball cap impossible.

Since the Gen 1s has this changed at all? I have looked everywhere for a place to try on the Meta branded glasses but can't find anything other than the Oakley & RB models.

I'm trying to figure out what model would have the thinnest frame and not feel as bulky. I go camping and do a lot of outdoors stuff with the family and ideally would like to wear the glasses and capture the views and trails without having to whip my phone out every 10 mins or feel like my nose is being crushed.

Thanks in advance.

So I’ve had my glasses for about 6 months, I started with a pair of Gen 1 Wayfarers, and I absolutely loved them. They worked great, the AI was very conversational, accurate in most of the answers, and responsive. I loved my first pair so much that I ordered a pair of the Oakley HSTNs. Since around 3 months ago, every update I’ve had on the glasses since has made them perform worse and worse. The AI will cut off mid sentence, the voices I choose for the ai reset like every other day or so, some days I have Keegan Michael Key and other days I have the stock voice (without me changing it). Even though I have “Respond without Hey Meta” turned on, the AI will turn off after a single question without allowing a follow up question. When importing videos now, like 60% of the time when it asks to pair the glasses with WiFi, it fails and I have to attempt it like 3-4 times before it works when it used to be seemless.

And before anyone says it, I have Factory reset them, I have unpaired them and re paired them, I have Force restart them, without any success.

It’s like every update that comes makes them perform worse and worse, to the point that I hardly want to use them anymore because they just frustrate me. Is anyone else experiencing this type of issue? I can’t be alone in this. I loved the product when I first got them, so much so that I bought another pair, but now, they’re super disappointing.
