Even Realities

Even G2

• Two frame shapes at identical price and capability, three frame colours each and four lens options, for 24 purchasable variants in total, all currently listed as available.
• The $599 headline is the frame-only, non-prescription price for the US, Canada and Hong Kong. It is the floor of a ladder that reaches $948 in the US for the same glasses with 1.74 lenses.
• Prescription is a three-tier upcharge rather than a single option: Essential Slim (1.60) adds $159, Enhanced Slim (1.67) adds $229 and Superior Slim (1.74) adds $349 in the US, while the page shows only "From $159".
• Progressive and UltraFit lenses cannot be bought online at all — "Progressive lenses and highly individualized UltraFit Lenses are exclusively available at our optician partners." Online sales are single-vision only.
• Several markets are priced in US dollars rather than local currency: Australia, New Zealand and Singapore pay $649 USD, the UAE $699 USD and Saudi Arabia $749 USD, which is 8% to 25% above the US price for the identical product.
• The EU, Switzerland and Norway pay €699 and the UK pays £599, which reads as parity with the US number because the figure matches, but is not.
• Capability is region-split: the shipping policy states that Italy and Saudi Arabia "only support the sale of non-prescription eyeglasses", so the prescription SKUs are effectively unavailable there even though the storefront quotes prices for them.
• There is no camera and no speaker on the device, so the SDK cannot capture what the wearer sees and cannot speak from the glasses. Anything audio-out is phone-side.
• Choosing between G2 A and G2 B is a fit and shape decision only — identical price, capability and variant structure, with no developer consequence either way.
• Accessories are priced separately and none are required for development: G2 Clip & Pouch $99, G2 Case $149, Temple Sleeves $5 for five pairs, Nose Pads $10 for ten pairs. The R1 ring at $249 is an input accessory and is explicitly optional in the Even Hub hardware quickstart.
• Even Hub's app-submission guidelines say reviewers "run a beta build via Beta Testing", and there is no published requirement that a developer own the glasses or the ring to ship, nor a published review-turnaround SLA.
• Even states the G2 is "eligible for reimbursement through FSA and HSA", a US-only payment nuance that is a reimbursement rather than a discount: "purchase your Even G2 upfront and submit your receipt."
• Shipping is excluded from Northern Ireland, the Canary Islands, Faroe Islands, Greenland, the French overseas departments, Livigno, Cabbio and Campione d'Italia, and no P.O. Box or APO/FPO/DPO address is accepted — such orders "will be automatically canceled."
• No stock-status string is rendered anywhere on the product pages. Availability is asserted only through JSON-LD schema.org/InStock and the storefront's availableForSale flag, both true on all 24 variants as of 2026-07-30.

Even G1 (G1 A)

• One frame shape today, offered in two colours on the product page with a third still carried in the storefront catalogue at a higher price, and two lens options, for six catalogue variants.
• The "From $499" headline is colour-dependent and the page does not say so: Grey1 is still catalogued at $599 non-prescription and $749 with single vision, while Brown1 and Green1 are $499 and $658. The colour picker offers only Brown1 and Green1, so $499 is real for what you can actually select, but the $599 Grey1 SKU has not been removed from the catalogue and no notice explains the split.
• This is a reduction from the G1's original $599 with no vendor announcement. Even publishes no price-drop notice and sets no compare-at or strike-through price on any variant, so nothing labels $499 as either a permanent MSRP change or a promotion — treat it as the current price rather than a documented MSRP.
• The second frame shape is gone without notice. The G1 shipped in two frame shapes, A and B; today /products/g1-b 301-redirects to /products/g1, which 301-redirects to /products/g1-a, and the store lists only "Even G1 A" while the G1 Clip & Pouch still sells a "Frame B" fitment whose "Frame B / Green" variant shows as unavailable. Even has published no end-of-life or discontinuation statement for the G1 B frame, or for the G1 at all.
• The €529.95 EU price is the only non-round figure in Even's entire price list, every other model and market being a round number, which reads more like a markdown than a set list price — yet no promotional labelling accompanies it.
• Only one prescription tier is offered, "Single vision" at +$159, against the G2's three index tiers. A strong prescription needing 1.67 or 1.74 lenses is a G2-only configuration online.
• There is no first-party developer story: no Even Hub SDK support, no Even app store listing path, no simulator and no developer portal entry. Every route to running code on a G1 is third-party or community — MentraOS, the BSD-2-Clause EvenDemoApp protocol reference, or Gadgetbridge.
• The R1 ring is incompatible — "Even R1 currently supports interaction only with Even G2" — so the $249 input accessory is not an option on the cheaper model.
• G1 accessories are priced slightly differently from the G2's and are shape-specific: the G1 Clip & Pouch is $99 in the US and $100 in the base catalogue, sold in Frame A and Frame B fitments.
• Even publishes no statement positioning the G1 as legacy, superseded or end-of-life. It retains a live product page, a footer nav entry and in-stock status across all markets, but it is absent from the current developer platform and the FSA/HSA eligibility copy names only the G2.
• There is no camera and no speaker, the same as the G2 — a $499 entry price buys a display-and-microphone peripheral, not a capture device.
• The regional caveats match the G2: USD pricing without local currency in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, non-prescription-only sales in Italy and Saudi Arabia, and the same excluded-territory and P.O. Box / APO-FPO-DPO shipping exclusions.
