Even Realities Launches Camera-Free G2 Smart Glasses and R1 Ring With Contextual AI

Early hands-on tests flag software bugs and unproven health tracking on day one.

Overview

  • Both devices are on sale today for $599 (G2) and $249 (R1), with a limited promotion offering the ring and accessories at 50% off when bundled.
  • The G2 prioritizes a display-first approach using the new HAO 2.0 micro-LED and waveguide optics for sharper, multi-layer visuals and supports prescriptions from -12 to +12 diopters.
  • Privacy is emphasized with no cameras or speakers, a 36-gram titanium and magnesium frame, IP67 dust and water resistance, and over two days of battery life plus seven full recharges from the case.
  • The R1 serves as a discreet controller and health tracker—covering steps, heart rate, HRV, sleep, and SpO2—linking with the glasses and phone through the TriSync system.
  • Conversate provides AI-driven context, subtitles, follow-ups, and summaries during conversations with only transcriptions saved, and an Even Hub developer platform is slated to open later this year.
