"Whatever you want to say about Meta and its various company policies (trust me, we've said plenty), there is one indisputable fact. Meta has already won the smart glasses race. By partnering with Essilor Luxxotica, the company figured out a way to manufacture smart glasses that everyone wants to weareven if they do come with a hefty side helping of AI slop."
"These are the original Meta glasses that became a smash hit. The new version is $80 more expensive, has a better battery life, and a better camera. But if you mostly use your smart glasses for listening to music, responding to texts, and snapping off quick pics of things you need to remember, the original Wayfarers will do right by you. The OG Meta Ray-Ban Wayfarers are now $239, or $58 off."
"You can get $250 off the Garmin Fenix 8 47mm, $200 off the Garmin Venu X1, or $100 off the Garmin Forerunner 970, which is our best running sport watch. If you buy one of those together with an Oakley Meta Vanguard you receive $50 credit that can be used on any future device on Meta.com. Meta will email you the $50 credit in February 2026."
Meta achieved market dominance in smart glasses through a manufacturing partnership with Essilor Luxxotica. The original Ray-Ban Gen 1 smart glasses are discounted for Black Friday, with OG Wayfarers priced at $239. The Gen 2 model costs $80 more and offers improved battery life and camera performance. Prescription lenses for Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 and Oakley Meta HSTN are 20 percent off. Select Garmin watches are on sale and enable Oakley Meta Vanguard features, with bundled purchases granting a $50 credit emailed in February 2026. The Quest 3S headset is $50 off, plus 40 percent off Meta Store titles with code BFCM25.
