Meta Aria Gen 2 smart glasses look like a serious upgrade on Ray-Ban Meta


Meta's new research-focused smart glasses track heart rate, distinguish the wearer's voice from others, and last 6–8 hours per charge.

The Gen 2 version adds a PPG in the nosepad for continuous heart rate data, as well as a contact microphone "to distinguish the wearer’s voice from that of bystanders." Recent leaks suggest that Meta is working on new Oakley smart glasses, a $1,000 Hypernova prototype with AR capabilities, and a follow-up to Orion codenamed Artemis. Channeling his love of running, he established himself as an expert on fitness watches, testing and reviewing models from Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung, Apple, COROS, Polar, Amazfit, Suunto, and more.
