If it weren't for that brilliant Cosmic Blue finish and nearly all-day battery life, I might feel sorry for the Meta AI Ray-Ban Gen 2 smart glasses (a.k.a Meta Ray-Ban Gen 2) launching in the shadow of Meta Ray-Ban Display. But this is like comparing apples to oranges. The Meta Ray-Ban Displays are really a smartphone for your face, while Gen 2 glasses are a smart evolutionary leap that improves the smart glasses in most of the necessary spaces.
I got to spend a little bit of time with the new frames and, yes, even got to choose my color. I selected Cosmic Blue (this and Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro give me dualing Asteroid Movie vibes) because it's one of three, limited-edition "seasonal colors" that include the blue, "headliner Music Violet", and "Skyler shines Asteroid Grape". This is in addition to like 27 new color options for the Meta smart glasses.
