Truly horrible
I was skeptical about the Even Realities G2 after reading so many negative reviews, but I gave the glasses the benefit of the doubt. I figured some people might be having trouble with the settings or using them incorrectly. As someone who works in IT support and is very familiar with iPhones, I felt comfortable troubleshooting them—but my experience has been extremely disappointing.
I can’t get the glasses to do the things I bought them for. Notifications don’t appear, reminders don’t work reliably, and the Bluetooth connection keeps dropping. The display frequently shows errors or shuts down. Even AI often doesn’t understand what I’m saying and responds that it can’t help me.

Cool but support dooms it
The G2 glasses are cool and useful in a very niche approach when it comes to the conversate mode. Also having the ability to quickly ask the Even AI a question is also cool. The minimalist approach to the design and no camera helps make it feel less intrusive too.
The support is where things start to fall apart. If you happen to purchase them used and need to send them in for new lenses, you’re going to be referred to a third party. So if you want to have your prescriptions changed on the lenses or add to one that never had. Things won’t go too great. Without the prescription for every day use the glasses just turn into a really expensive niche gadget.

My Even G2 lenses cracked overnight in the case. Even Realities says it was “impact damage”
I wanted to post this because I found other people here who had almost the exact same thing happen.
I got my Even G2 glasses on May 5. I’ve only actually had them for about four and a half months.
I used them the night before and they were fine. I put them in their case before bed like normal.
The next morning I opened the case and both lenses had cracks in them.
I contacted Even Realities and sent them pictures. Their response was that they see what “appear to be impact marks” on the lenses, so they’re refusing to cover them under warranty. They offered me a paid repair instead.
That’s where I have a problem.
They’re saying these are impact marks based on pictures, but they haven’t explained what marks they’re talking about or how those marks prove that an impact caused the lenses to crack.
I’ve asked them to show me exactly what they’re calling an impact mark and to have someone else review the warranty claim.
I’m sharing this because when I searched, I found several other Even Realities owners describing lenses cracking for no obvious reason. Some of the stories are extremely similar to mine — including people who put perfectly good glasses in the case at night and found a cracked lens the next morning.
I’ll update this post when Even Realities responds.

Fantastic - Custom agent everywhere you go
The apps see frequent updates to support users. I think more interestingly, the custom agent aspect is why I still own these glasses. In about two hours you can set up a complete custom agent with an anthropic api (or whatever you choose). You now have a custom agent in your glasses that you can speak to.

Not bad but not great
Just need a little work on some of the apps, not having the option to switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit.
