"Spy cameras" like these have been available cheaply for years. The only thing new here is the Ray-Ban brand connection.

Well, the integration into social media is novel too. When I did a demo I signed into my account and when I filmed something it went directly as a post to my IG.

If there were more ability to do more editing and get access to the raw footage that would be helpful; I haven’t tested this version though so I don’t know what it does/doesn’t offer.

There are several glasses that allows live-streaming over wifi to your phone, and that will give you access to the raw footage.

how many "spy cameras" allow you to live stream? "the only thing" here is your lack of imagination. not that I'm a proponent of these devices, as they are on the verge of creepCentral, but i'm not going to make an outlandish comment about them "only" being branded.

The very cheapest don't, but there are several who do, so again the only "new" thing is here is the branding.

These aren’t even new. They have been available for years.

True, but the first version was garbage, the resolution was like 2007 Razr quality. I feel like the better image quality, battery life, and form-factor this gets, it will become a lot more compelling a product.

I would never have bought the last version, but with the image quality on this one it may be worth it (plus the call-related stuff, although I normally have AirPods with me).
