This isn’t your everyday sale; it’s a genuinely tempting chance to pick up a pair of the original Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer (Gen 1) AI glasses without the usual £299 price tag. Right now, you can snag the shiny black frame with classic G15 green lenses for just £224.25 direct from Meta – saving you over £70 (and other colours are available with the same discount). It’s the sort of discount that makes you sit up and take notice, especially if you’ve been curious about dipping a toe into wearable tech without paying full price.
What makes these glasses interesting isn’t just the iconic Wayfarer silhouette — though that, in itself, has timeless appeal. They’re part of the first generation of smart eyewear from the Ray-Ban and Meta collaboration, blending fashion and tech in a way that feels natural rather than gimmicky. You’re getting classic design DNA with modern twists, a cool balance that often gets lost in many other smart glasses attempts.
Wearable tech lives or dies on usefulness, and the Wayfarer AI glasses bring things a step beyond simple audio frames. With hands-free control, you can capture photos and videos, listen to music through built-in speakers, make calls and interact with Meta AI without ever pulling your phone out of your pocket. It’s quietly impressive how much capability lives in what still looks like a pair of stylish sunglasses, and at this price, it’s a far more accessible entry point.
For everyday wearers, there’s also genuine comfort and practicality here. The shiny black frames and G15 green lenses aren’t just good-looking - they provide reliable UV protection and a classic aesthetic that works with almost any outfit. Under the surface, you’ve got respectable battery life and enough storage to hold plenty of media, making them just as enjoyable for daily walks and errands as they are for capturing travel moments or attending social days out.
Tech lovers who follow trends in AI and wearables will recognise that smarter glasses are one of the most talked-about categories right now, even as the technology continues to evolve. These Gen 1 Wayfarers might not be the newest generation on the market, but they represent a proven blend of form and function that’s only just beginning to hit the mainstream. At £224.25, you’re getting this blend of classic style and forward-leaning tech at a pretty compelling price.
If you’ve been on the fence about smart glasses or have wanted a pair of Ray-Bans that do more than just shield your eyes, this deal is one worth considering. It’s not often you see a recognised brand merging tech and design at a discount this generous, and with the winter months ahead, perfect for walks, trips, and capturing memories — they could be a fun and functional addition to your daily carry.
