So while I was checking my personal emails at work, shh don’t tell my boss, I got an email from kits with just a simple link. Kits has come out with their own smart glasses, which actually look 10 times better than the Ray-Ban metas. I have found 0 videos and 0 reviews but as my spouse has been buying his glasses from here for years I decided to do some research and came across this article.

It looks like they have two cameras, and pay attention to that line about navigation in the article.
With only a couple articles to go off of, I decide to give them a purchase. If they work like I’m hoping, and at a price tag of C$198, these look like they will be officially the cheapest smart glasses on the market. If you want to check them out, I’ll paste the link below.

I’m pretty sure you can buy them in the US too but don’t quote me on that, there’s very little information about this.

Yeah I couldn’t resist
Regarding purchasing the Kits glasses in the US.
HI, I did a bit of digging and they can be purchased from kits.com for about $160. I've been trying to contact them, and this is where it may not go well. I emailed them and got Amy although after our conversation progressed, I believe she may have been their chat bot. I came to this conclusion after I sent her links to the article, and she stated she was not aware of this. I then sent her information about why I wanted the glasses and she then asked for more resources. I called the number and really was not able to get much info about what the glasses could do accept what the person read from the website. My reason for wanting these or any glasses is reading signs, mail and other things. I have successfully gotten the Meta glasses to do all of this effectively and am also testing the Echo Vision pioneer's edition.
I sincerely look forward to your review of these glasses. The price point is extraordinary and even if they can do a few of the important things well they are worth a look. The person I called stated that they do have a 30-date return policy.
Oh, one more thing: (hmm, who said that?) I was unable to find out whether or not an app is required to connect the glasses and what the name of the app is.
@ JohnyTheHess
Yes Amy is only a chat bot. Also, their sales team at the toll-free number are basically the last to know about any new product. I know this as I work in sales on the front end myself. Us front end workers are always the last to know about anything lol. Contacting them and getting a hold of someone is pretty easy. This company has been so great to us over the years which is why I’m very excited to test out this new product which apparently is their third generation. They actually came out with AI glasses before Meta. Mine had shipped today so we will see how they perform. They do look a lot slicker than the Meta glasses so if they work well it is buy buy meta.
Looking forward to your review.
I'll admit, it would be nice to have more commercially available smart glasses that do significant things. Woof, from a yellow Lab.
Looking forward to your views!
Do tell us the experience!

Oh me too lol. I definitely will. This is either going to be really good or really bad. I’m hoping good because my spouse and I have been buying from this company for years and they’ve never sold us a bad product. The fact that these glasses are so elusive is I think what intrigues me most. They put no marketing behind this at all. No videos, no reviews, even the person writing the article hasn’t tried them out. Front end staff don’t know about them and neither does their AI Chatbot. I also checked their Facebook page, they haven’t even posted it on their Facebook page or their Instagram. Maybe I’m glad I’ve been on their email list for years? When doing a Google search for these glasses, this forum pops up on the Google search lol. That along with a couple other articles, but that’s about it.

Like you said this is either gonna be awesome or not good at all. I couldn’t find anything on it on YouTube and when searching for it it’s essentially the same article over and over again. No reviews no comments no Reddit posts no nothing. But it’s worth a try. The worst that could happen is that it doesn’t work. Thanks for bringing it to attention. And thank you for being willing to try it out.
